Geo Tagging Flickr

 

 

 

Flickr claims to host over 100 million geotagged photos. What this means is that now you can search for photos by place where they were taken in.

Apart from these “traditional” searching strategies, such as searching tags or Flickr groups regarding a certain location, now you can enter Flickr places, and find a specifically designed page that takes you to all the photos taken in a place of your interest. 

It offers the usual services, such as organizing photos by interestingness, or by “newness”, offering a feed to geotagged photos etc. 

Unfortunately, there seems to be no option for slideshow, which would have been neet.
