One more Reason to Love Flickr!

After buying out Geobloggers it seems like Yahoo! have done something really great with Dan Catt's "technology" for putting pictures on a map (i.e. Geotagging).

Whilst frappr has been around for a while using the (supperior) Google Maps, Yahoo! seem to have been playing catch-up. However, now, by glueing this Geotagging concept into Flickr Flickr/Yahoo! now have a truelly awesome interface (following on from their truly great Organizr update earlier this year) that really makes Geotagging and browsing for Geotagged pictures fantasticly easy.

They seem to reeling from the sucess too - about 1.6m pictures Geotagging with 24hours! Having worked on mapping applications where data is being searched on spatially from very large databases (e.g. www.housepricemaps.co.uk) I know this is no mean feat! My only grumble is that the detail on Yahoo! maps is rubbish compared to Google maps for the UK - still can't have everything straight away.
