Flickr Places

11/20/2007

Flickr Places is a new app rolled out by Flickr highlighting photos, groups, and photographers from specific locales. When I checked out the Winchester Places page, here is what I saw:

Flickr Places - Winchester

That’s my Rouss Fire Hall photo! The photos are randomly selected from “interesting” photos. I have also seen photos from Drew, Mark, and Kevin show up here. I refreshed a few times on the Arlington Places page but never saw any of my photos there…I’m guessing there are a few more photos of Arlington than Winchester.

The Places application is nice, but fairly basic. I think there is room for more localized content and goodies. One example would be integrating each places page with the flickr forums. Flickr maps have also been updated but I haven’t checked that out yet…
