There is a post on the Flickr Blog announcing that 1,234,384 photos were geotagged in the first 24 hours after the new feature launched this week.Flickr Geotagging, which allows users to drag photos on to a Yahoo map and mark them with a specific worldwide location, received rave early reviews, even from competitors. I haven’t yet tested it myself, but I’ve read that it is incredibly easy to go back and geotag hundreds of photos with very little effort.

I have always admired Flickr (Social Web 2.0 type of website).

Flickr continues to rock along, with 4.5 million registered users and 17 million unique visitors per month. They have just under 230 million total photos uploaded and 900,000 new photos are uploaded daily on average. Read more about Flickr on Wikipedia

Now, just think of the possiblities of geo-tagging photos for the travel industry, the marketing opportunities could be incredible. Let’s start a discussion about this.
