Another amazing web thingy

This one blew my mind.

Watch, in real time as people upload pictures to Flickr and see where they are on a 3D map.

Remove from the heat, hunt out the ginger slices and the bay leaves - feed them to the compost.

Add the milk, season and heat up ready to serve.
Put in bowls and garnish with chopped chives and eat with loads of crusty bread.

Geotag!

This is the best and easiest to use Flickr tool I have ever seen.

You follow this link, drag the suggested bookmarklet onto your links toolbar and it’s done. Then whenever you upload a Flickr photo (if you can be arsed) you click the link and it turns your photo into a mini google map. Click the place on the map where you took the photo and it automatically geo-tags your image and inserts a link into the description field.

I realise that as I am typing this I am making it sound complicated - it isn’t. Start geotagging!
