Tagzania Blog | News and Announcements

To complete the integration with Flickr photos and their API, we have created that works with geotagged photos there.

Check here at the bookmarklet section. It's the the Tagzai! Flickr Geotagged bookmarklet. Once installed, this bookmarklet lets you place a picture from Flickr on its exact spot at your account. Providen that the Flickr photo is geotagged, that is, has a triplet of tags defining latitude and longitude. It won't work with non-geotagged or incorrectly geotagged photos. 

When you are seeing a photo with such tags on the sidebar, just click on the bookmarklet and it's done. You may browse the geotagged photos at Flickr, or the groups created around this idea to find interesting pictures.

If you are a fan of geotagging photos at Flickr, you probably may remember Geobloggers.com and the fame it deservedly had. This is not a substitute. There are well specialized tools out there, and those Yuan.CC mapping tools look particularly good. That trick, to view all your geotagged pictures all-at-once over a map, is fantastic:

If your flickr photo page URL is www.flickr.com/photos/XXX/ then your flickr maps page URL is flickr.yuan.cc/maps/XXX/ showing just the geotagged ones.

So, why's Tagzania entering this field now? Tagzania is about bookmarking places at large. You tag URLs with del.icio.us, photos at Flickr, and locations here at Tagzania. Then, images are an added resource, and this kind of resources, photos, may illustrate your place... or any other peoples' resources can do so as well. No images are uploaded or cached, content resides in the original URL, and we direct a link towards that from Tagzania.

Give it a try, if you want.

We want to thank user jcburns who suggested this feature for Flickr in a message sent to our mailing list.
