Geotagging made easy

I was always jealous for all those people that had their photos annotated with GPS positions - especially since I travel quite often and after some time it would be very nice to see where I've been precisely.

Now I can ! With Flickr geotagging - that is as easy as you can imagine.

I do not have to take care about GPS, geo-positions, etc. Just drag-and-drop - and you can easily place your photo anywhere on the Planet :)
Plus, other people can not only see where it was taken (click the map link in the metadata section of e.g. this photo on Flickr page) - but can also know the name of the place where it was taken.

Cool, isn't it? Now you can see where is my in-law's garden where this photo was taken :)

And, btw. I managed to geotag about 1000+ photos so far (more coming soon) which is just a fraction of what has been geotagged by the whole Flickr community within last 24h.

Calling all del.icio.us people

I am just in the middle of research on how to better represent tags than just with tag-cloud. My prototype is up-and-running, however, I would like to introduce some more smarted clustering and filtering techniques.

(help me to speed-up my research)

In order to do so - I need your help - all del.icio.us people - if you want to experience better way to browse your del.icio.us posts - send me your del.icio.us IDs (no passwords :) - so that I can add you as friends.
It will allow me to gather more data so that I can improve my current algorithms.

I appreciate any help - and I promise to give you a credit on the project web page and source code once I will announce this component.

Thanks in advance

Not so wet in Galway, afterall

Jacek says it still rains in Galway - but I bought a bike 2 weeks ago - and so far I did not managed to get wet while biking to/from DERI :)
