Inside Microsoft's New Digital Photo Project

robyn217 writes "While Microsoft Research plays 'Big Brother' to a young hiker's trip across North America, it breaks new ground in digital photography by combining metadata, like location via GPS, with the image. Its online presence looks impressive as it displays digital photo albums on a map of the world, but it's slow and unwieldy for the most part and may not be better than a standard travelogue site. This week, I took a closer look at the project currently named the World-Wide Media eXchange (WWMX)."

Since i didn't get to see the demo thanks to you lovely people, this has proven one thing to me.

Not even Microsoft can make .NET scalable enough to sustain a good ol /.'ing.
