TagMaps – Explore with Flickr

Flickr LogoThere are a lot of photos on Flickr with geotag info. And now there’s “World Explorer” which has to be one of the coolest ways to dig out pictures that I’ve seen so far.

Go to the site, enter the area you’re interested in (my sample) and zoom in or out as appropriate while watching for tags on the map. Hover over a tag, get a bunch of pictures in the side bar. Neat!

There’s an API and even a reasonably simple way to add it to your blog. Sample below is of Denver, a bit zoomed out (if reading via an RSS reader you may have to visit the site to see this one):

I guess I should get in the habit of geo-tagging my stuff now.
