Geotags.org > Gawping at Flickr Upcoming
[Preoccupations] More than 228,000,000 photos have been uploaded, with over a million new photos being added on a good day. There are billions of bits of data that go into the search (more than half a billion tags alone), along with privacy controls, group membership, and so on.

[Makezine.com] MAKE: Blog: HOW TO GPS Tag Photos: Flickr, Mappr, Google Earth....: After hanging out at Where 2.0, I've been more interested in tagging my photographs with where they were taken with the exact latitude and longitude so I can later do some interesting things with them. This how-to is just the start of some mapping hacks, step-by-steps etc- I wanted to start out with the simplest method possible so even the non-techies can play.

[Science Library Pad] mobilized data: Flickr georeferencing after one... : As well, they have released the geo API, in case you'd still rather see your photos on Google Maps or in Google Earth etc. As far as I understand, you should consider location a separate meta attribute - it will no longer show up as a tag and it won't be inserted by Flickr into the EXIF.
[EdCompBlog] Something old, something new...: Although it is called a "Profile Widget" (I have added one to my profile on Flickr) it can be used on any web page (for example in this blog post). As I said, I don't think it is particularly educationally useful (although if pushed I could probably invent an educational justification) I just thought it was a fun way to summarise and display the extent of your addiction to Flickr.
[ HighContrast] Flickr Photos Geotagged at 50K/hour: Flickr getting on the geotagging bandwagon late but with huge momentum is an example of how difficult it is to create true value through technology in online communities. As a friend of mine, the founder of FunTrivia (a community site started in 1994) and NearHere (a geotagging community site started in 2005) Terry Ford, said to me tonight: “It’s a lot harder to get people these days.”
[Nicest of the Damned] Flickr gets (geo) tagged; why not everything?: The Flickr implementation, using Yahoo! Maps (of course) is pretty slick, making seamless use of Ajax, and determining how precisely to tag your photos by how far you're zoomed in when you set their location.
[Techcrunch] Webshots to relaunch with a Web 2.0 look: The Webshots team told Premium users in an email today that at relaunch Webshots users will be able to comment on each other’s photos. Premium users will have their accounts increased from 5,000 images total, with the limit being bumped up 500 images each month in the future future.
[Planet Web 2.0] Webshots to relaunch with a Web 2.0 look: There wont be tagging, but CNets photosharing site Webshots is adding a number of features reminiscent of Flickr and getting a whole new look. The relaunch will occur some time in late August, but an alpha site is up here.
