GeoTag Junkie: Where my Last 500 Photos were Taken
Unfortunately, the wonderful Flickr map only lets you display as many points on the map (at a time) as you can fit in thumbnail photos across your screen. So, for someone like me who meticulously geo-tags every photo taken (in the hopes I’ll one day be able to locate the ideal geo-data visualization app for my photos) the closest thing I can get to a good map is the Flickr Organizr. Here’s a photo of how it looks:

about 4 months ago - 1 comment
Seeing as I’m a borderline-obsessive geotagger and geotag every last photo I put up on Flickr, I’m still trawling the net looking for the perfect way to visualize it all. Still haven’t found it, but did find something cool. This is a tool called iMapFlickr – a tool that lets you visualize your FLickr sets
Important for SEO: Digg, Flickr & “nofollow” links
about 5 months ago - 8 comments
In looking for some good “startup” references to give to a client who wants to be able to do their own SEO, I found a number of them that were listing out good social media services that could be used for link-building. A number of these posts (dated 2009) listed Flickr and Digg both as
Flickr vs. YouTube: Mobile Video Quality
about 1 year ago - No comments
I just posted on the quality & feature differences between Flickr video and YouTube, saying also that their mobile feature sets were quite similar, though video quality was about the same. How wrong I just was, with respect to mobile video quality. Have a look at these two samples, taken on an iPhone 3G, of
Flickr & YouTube – Video Quality & Features Comparison
about 1 year ago - No comments
Flickr has a little known, and not oft-used ability for users to upload videos, as well as photos. As Flickr is primarily a photo site for photo enthusiasts, the purpose of Flickr videos was not to host the latest Shakira music video or Baby Bloopers w/Gangsta Rap soundtrack – but rather to augment one’s photographic
Displaying a KML Feed on Bing Maps
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
Okay – while not exactly where I wanted to be, I now see that I’m able to easily display a KML feed in Bing Maps (the artist formerly known as Microsoft Virtual Earth) by appending a “mapurl” parameter to maps.bing.com, and then feed it in the URL to your KML file. Like http://bing.com/maps?mapurl=[your_kml] For example,
Using KML to Show Flickr Maps on Google Earth

In trying to solve an issue I’m having with Bing Maps and using the Bing Maps API to import KML for map overlays, I ended up solving a problem I had earlier, where I was trying to find a nice way to show all of the photos of my road trip across america on one

Now that my cross-country trip is drawing to a close (I should be pulling in to my destination in the DC area tomorrow) I’ve been trying to figure out a cool Web 2.0-style way of displaying where we went on this trip, with the route we took, geo-tagged photos, videos, and all of that sort
The Country Road is Taking Me Home

I’ve had a few admonishments for no blog posts over the last two days – sorry about that. I had an awful Internet connection which [gasp] I couldn’t debug, and couldn’t make work for me. So, I had to wait until tonight, when I’ve finally made it to Virginia (Lexington, VA, in the bottom of
First Refresh of Flickr & Flickr Map

I’ve just started loading all of my trip photos to date into my Flickr Account, now that I’m at a hotel with some zippety-quick wifi. I have to drive all day tomorrow, though, so I only got up through Las Vegas. But, you can see what I’ve got on the map here: Sorry if some
Lesson on how you KNOW if you’re Actually at 10,600 feet
about 1 year ago - 1 comment
When driving on the I-70 toward Colorado, if your Subaru is buff enough, you will finally come upon Vail Pass, at a breathtaking 10,603 feet. Now, anyone who’s been mountain climbing in the Cascades knows that at about 10,000 feet, you see snow and ice and Glaciers and you lose your breath and have to
