Geotagging Google Maps
A few years ago locative media were the talk of the day in the media arts scene. Thanks to the Bloggersphere and investment by major international digital corporations such as Google and Yahoo now everybody can be, oh, so locative. You are already storing all your photos on Flickr, aren't you? Now you can annotate your Flickr photos using Google Maps, the new map service by Google. A website called Geobloggers lets you annotate your photos with longitude and latitude coordinates and overlays them with Google Maps. This weblog posts a number of scripts and explanations how to do that. I hope they win the Prix Ars Electronica. My only question is, why are all those images so non-sensical? Does the combination of digital cameras, flickr and other photoblogs only accellerate the end of the image?
