Going Places with Flickr Places
A Vagabondish post tipped us off on the latest happenings at Flickr: the introduction of the Flickr Places feature. Since the photo-sharing site put up a particularly neat map of the world, the Flickr gang is quite excited about letting us travel the world through photographs submitted by people everywhere.
Basically, because members geotag their pictures, you can search for a location on Flickr Places and be taken to see all the snaps that have been taken there. Search for Rockefeller Center, for example, and Flickr will zoom in and pull up pictures of the Christmas tree and ice skating.
The front page of Places has an ever-rotating pick of six different places around the world, and you can pick the places that interest you and find out what there is to see there. It's bit of desktop travel that's perfect for daydreaming between vacations.
