Map of the Day: Flickr NYC

2006_8_flickrmap1.jpg

Oh bless you Flickr-- not only do you provide us endless hours of tag surfing fun, and power our Gothamist Contribute section, but now you've introduced a super-cool geocoding feature for all photos. The way it works is simple: if you're a Flickr user, you just pull photos on to a map in the "Organizr" area. If you're not a Flickr user, you can still participate in the fun by checking out photos mapped in your home town. For instance, check out how the NYC map is coming along-- the bigger dots are already forming around landmarks and popular neighborhoods. In about a month, we predict the biggest circle on the map will be squarely above Williamsburg. Prove us wrong, please!

It seems to be taking an eternity to load, and I"m on a very fast connection. Still, early days yet.

if the circles are pulled from the gothamist contribute stream, then the biggest circle will be wherever jake dobkin lives.
