I’m an administrator of a Flickr Photograph group, which has over 1,700 travel photographs from around the World. Kevin May, editor of Travolution, emailed me this week, directing me to a post on the Travolution blog about Yahoo Mapping within Flickr

Tonight, I took a look at this new technology, and I was impressed – very impressed actually. I was able to zoom into the Yahoo map, and then drop and drag a photograph to the location where the photograph was taken, how cool is that.

You can view the Travel Rants Photograph Group in Yahoo Maps and see it developing as more of the photographs are assigned against a location. Something else I’d like to add – I actually prefer Yahoo’s Mapping interface, over Google’s – for some reason it’s easier to move around and graphically it looks much more pleasing.

Nice work Flickr and Yahoo!
