The Geobloggers blog details the new TagMaps from Yahoo! Research Berkeley, combining webmapping and tags with photos and more. From the official page: "The World Explorer is a new and (we hope) exciting way to explore the world while browsing real users' public photos, using TagMaps. The Explorer is based on photos users upload to the Flickr website. The World Explorer engine analyzes the information tied to the photos (such as location and tags) to find the main "attractions" in each location and in every zoom level and compute their "importance"."

Flickr and Yahoo Maps! Integration Coming

The Neologies blog somewhat confirms Flickr and Yahoo Maps! is getting more integration. From the blog: "That panel prompted me to set my default geotagging permissions for new photos (that is, who can see the geotagging information). After selecting "Everyone", I was presented a map to which I could drag and drop photos, thus tagging them with latitude and longitude information."
Technology: Flickr Adds Geotagging 3 comments
[+]
The Map Room and scrappad, along with Slashdot, discuss the addition of geotagging photos in Flickr. From the official blog: "There are a couple of short video tutorials (or "screencasts") which give the 90 second overview on how to geotag your own photos and how to use all the controls for searching and exploring geotagged photos. [...] But if you just want to jump in and start geotagging, open the new 'map' tab in the organizr and go for it. It's all drag and drop and easy to figure out. Since location information has its own privacy setting -- so you can keep the location the photo was taken private, even when the photo is public -- you'll be asked to set a default privacy setting before beginning."
