Flickr Launches Drag and Drop Geotagging

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fun-toys dept.

Thomas Hawk writes "Flickr today launched a mash up of sorts creating a tool in their organizer where users can use Yahoo! maps to geotag their photographs at Flickr. The new feature allows Flickr users the ability to simply drag and drop their photos onto a map, filter their photos by tags in order to geotag, and use interesting search technology to browse photos that have been geotagged on Flickr maps."

    The sad part about this is that Yahoo maps is soo bad.. And the flash-based beta version is even worse, it looks like a cheap rip-off of google maps, but that doesn't work properly. Any Yahooer should be ashamed of it. They can't do AJAX like Google. Shame on Yahoo.

    Note: I use Google Maps constantly as part of my job and personal use.

    ask.com's map stuff is *far* superior to Google Maps for the general user. Not only are their maps more up to date (and allow for zooming in further in more areas) but it works just as smoothly.

    Google should be *ashamed* that ask.com has a product that is even close to theirs nevermind beating it :(
