Combining Flickr with Google Maps

Admittedly slow and "riddled with bad coding practices," --Geobloggers nonetheless has a pretty neat idea: combining photo site Flickr and Google Maps.

Here is how the site says it's supposed to work: "The idea is that you go out into the (urban) wild armed with a camera and possibly a GPS unit. You take a bunch of photos and upload them to Flickr. Then you add 'tags' which let geobloggers (and other sites) know where the photo was taken. Flickr handles the management of the photos. Geobloggers does the rest."

Perhaps most appealing thing is the creator's disarming honesty, a rare thing in the universe of technology hype: "I'm building, in a very amateur way, the type of website that I want to see built. It's basically saying, look this is what I want and this is how I want it to work, can someone please go and build it."

No word on what Yahoo (which bought Flickr this year) thinks of the idea.
