Geocoding in flickr August 29, 2006
Posted by technologydriven in Web2.0, flickr.trackback
Flickr added a fancy new feature to their service: it is now possible to geocode photos within flickr, just by dragging and dropping them onto a map within the organizer. The map is - certainly - provided by flickr’s parent company Yahoo. Geocodes are added to the photos automatically, and the name of the corresponding place is also found automatically.
Thus, it is now also possible to browse flickr-photos with a map-interface.

If you prefer Google Maps instead of Yahoo Maps and the possibility of watching the photos in Google Earth (KMl feed), Panoramio may be an alternative for you.
We have been working hard on it. Hope you like it

What do you think is their strategy?

Well, I can at least say that I think they take this topic serious. The investment in a company like Socialtext and the participation in a congress like “chance web2.0” show that. They know about the power of the blogosphere, and I think we will see some “Enterprise 2.0″-features in future releases of the NetWeaver Portal. But a more detailed statement on that would be overbearing, perhaps you in Walldorf (working for SAP?) know more about it…
