A semi-coherent log for Martin Sønderlev Christensen - mixed with snipets of fun, critical thinking, love of all things connected and other browseworthy items.

Flickr Geotagging Google maps

Dalager directed my attention to the fascinating possibility of geotagging your flickr’s(1) and pin the location via the amazing Google Maps. That had to be checked out and with a couple of greasemonkey scripts installed in Firefox, vola! I was ready to “tag” my flickr’s geographically, only to find that Google Maps are a tad outdated when it comes to the part of Copenhagen where I reside currently. The images are at least one to two years old, judging from the buildings that are missing on the satellite images - that aside it’s really interesting to overview how the area has been developed.

Moreover it’s really interesting to see this clever merging of two extremly funky technologies. And at geobloggers lat=55.660751&lon=12.570344 (latitude and longitude) or flickrcity one find the illustrious “usual suspects” of the Copenhagen blogosphere geotagging away the city.
Personally, i’m gonna start Flickring and tagging the virtual wasteland that I’m living in according to Google - updating it a little, from the ground!!
