Mashups are Amazing

One of the wonderful things about web 2.0 is what happens when one service is combined with another to create something completely new and useful. That's called a mashup, and earth album is one of my favorites. It combines the satellite view of googlemaps with the photo sharing site, flickr. The result is an easy way to find photos of any place on earth. Imagine sharing this with customers who are planning a vacation, or kids who are doing a geography report. Try it out now and take a look at your own home town or places you have traveled to. And if you post your own photos to flickr and tag them by location, you may see them on earth album someday.
