Flickr upgrades : New geotagging and Places Pages

Picture001

Flickr is making important upgrades of geotagging and they are launching a new area called “Places Pages” on the site. These are dedicated pages that provide users with specific information about places with the concept of “interestingness”: see an overview here. For the geotagging upgrades, no changes to the way photos are geotagged (using Yahoo maps), but they are updating the results pages for searches so that users can quickly find photos based on tags and geotagged information.
