Flickr’s great for exploring photos by photographer, tag, time, text and group, and now it’s also great for exploring photos by place with a new geo tagging functionality. The geotagging features are Ajax driven, integrates Yahoo Maps and Yahoo Search.
There are a couple of short video tutorials which give the 90 second overview on how to geotag your own photos and how to use all the controls for searching and exploring geotagged photos. Watching them first will give you all of the information you need to get up and running.
Well Flickr offers now a very nice plateform to explore picture in a funny way and I can imagine that lot of people will mash up this function with games, hide and seek, treasure hunt… Imaginations and strategies are welcome.
