Flickrmap


Flickr has done amazing things for digital photography. Before the creation of this fantastic service, photographers who didn't have an extensive amount of technical skills would e-mail their pictures to friends and family. As soon as Flickr hit the mainstream, more and more newbies, as well as full-fledged geeks, took their photo collections online. Thanks to this service, in a small amount of time, you can upload all of your photos, tag them, and organize them as you see fit. Flickr’s native navigation features are very helpful, but they can be taken even further. Flickrmap allows you to get a world map of your photos.By tagging your photos with a city and country name, Flickrmap will search through them, and then place them on a beautiful and robust Flash interface of the world that can easily be placed on your personal Web site. You can quickly zoom in and out of the map, and finding interesting photos for a particular region is as simple as it could be. A small amount of US$5 a year is required to subscribe to the site, but the creators seem flexible on the pricing issue. Of course, once you see what the map looks like, you'll realize why the money is well-spent. Flickrmap is a great way for world travelers to make their photos even more appealing.
