Thanks for the tip from Jim Wenzloff

Flickr has added a great new feature recently, drag and drop geotagging. The only way it could be easier is if camera had a GPS chip in it. Just click on Organizr and then click on Map. From there, you can drag your photos onto a map where they belong. Got a photo of a local museum? Look up its address and drag the photo there. Once you do so, anytime somebody pulls up the map of that area, they’ll see your photo in the proper place.

This is perfect for virtual field trips, and great for building initial knowledge of an area with a little perspective. Pull up the satellite view of a specific area so you can see the overhead view, and then click on photos that have been tagged in that area to see things from a human view.

Tons of potential there. If you use Flickr, give it a try. If you don’t, this is a good excuse to jump in.
