On the one hand I’m obssessed with Flickr.
On the other hand I’m obssessed with Google Earth.
Let’s put those hands together.
There’s a dyanmic layer that links from Google Earth to geotagged Flickr images.
You can now reverse it and “link to Google Earth dynamically from within the Flickr website, letting Google Earth fly you to the spot where your geotagged photo was taken”
(via ogleearth)
You can also automate geotagging with Firefox extension Grease Monkey.

Then there’s Geobloggers:
The idea is that you go out into the (urban) wild armed with a camera and possibly a GPS unit. You take a bunch of photos and upload them to flickr. Then you add “tags” which lets geobloggers (and other sites) know where the photo was taken, using “geotagged”, “geo:lat=xxx.xxxx” and “geo:lon=xxx.xxxx”. Flickr handles the management of the photos, geobloggers does the rest.
Now all I need is a GPS.
