Snapshots That Do More Than Bore Friends – New York Times

  • Quote: Geotagging photos brings a whole new level of context to the image,
    said Andy Williams, general manager of SmugMug.com, a photo-sharing
    site. “After all,” he said, “pictures are flat.” But the real reason
    geotagging is getting so popular, he added, are the bragging rights
    involved. “We want people to know the cool places we’ve been,” he said.
    “And this is a cool way to show off.”

    Note: Nice article describing the near future of geotagging photos and the cool ways people are starting to use them.

    I don’t find many people actually tagging their own photos, let alone anyone elses, do you?

    Geotagging will be useful when cameras contain GPS and autotag their position in the EXIF in each file. That will make photos easier to locate within your collection.

    I have both Aperture and Adobe Lightroom to help me manage a bazillion photos and neither tool has the one feature I need most – the ability to identify and delete duplicate images. Beyond that you could spend months learning to use programs designed to make your life easier.

    Surely, there is a better application of this technique than “showing off.” Although, come to think of it, most of Web 2.0 is about “showing off.” (at least thus far)
