Flickr Geotagging

Flickr has just added support for geotagging (see Wikipedia entry on geotagging), so you can now add your photos to the exact location on a map where they were shot. You can look for locations of photos on the new Flickr map. For more on this new feature launch, check out TechCrunch.

In Panoramio you can locate your photos via drag and drop interface using Google Maps. You also can watch the photos in Google Earth through .

Name & Website Required: Due to rampant abuse, we are no longer posting anonymous comments. Please list your real name and provide a link to your website.

With very few exceptions, comments that do not refernce include an actual name or url will not be approved.

Also when we ask for your name we mean your actual name, not Discount Car Products or some other attempt at spam or lame SEO.

Be Civil: Irrelevant, obnoxious or abusive comments will not be approved. Let's keep things civil and on topic. Basically what we are saying, if your comment does not add to the conversation, it will not be approved.

Spam: Spam comments in any form will not be approved. We also do not approve comments that left for the sole purpose of posting a link.

Corrections: If you want to point out a typo or correction, please email us instead. Typo or correction comments will not be approved since they are pretty much useless once they are corrected and then only tend to confuse things.
