Wow, so Google Maps now has geo-tagged pictures from Panoramio. At least my account has it, I think it’s a limited beta which I got a lottery for.
I must admit, it’s pretty cool, to see pictures of Monaco, you just browse to Monaco. How intuitive!
The first time I visited Panoramio, I wasn’t really impressed with it: it had the Google Maps Javascript application embedded in every page, which slowness-effect just annoys you on a Gigahertz computer. And every time you click an image you navigate away from the current page, loading another page, with another JS-bloat, argh! [And here I am with a cool answer to this problem, but I'm just sitting on it!]
But then, even something as simple as that can be bought by Google. Geez, I wish I had thunk of that!
