Ultra GPS Geotagging Timecoded TiltTagging AltitudeTagging Camera
Tagging is what it’s all about. I sincerely believe it will become the deep enabling technology for the semantic web.
And, it makes it really easy to find pictures of the Koreshan Premise on Flickr.
One cool development in the world of tagging is geotagging: labeling content with latitude and longitude in a standard format. Think about it, if enough things are geotagged on Flickr, we can view every freaking square inch of Earth on the web. There will never be a reason to look up from your laptop!
Geotagging on Flickr is wonderfully enabled by Greasemonkey and GoogleMaps via this addin.
But why doesn’t my camera do this for me! What I envision is a camera with GPS, that puts a geotag directly on the photo, so when I upload it to Flickr, it goes with it. And why stop there!
Why not put in a time code, altitude and three more degrees of freedom that specify the tilt of the camera!
Then you could use the combinations of data to merge everybody’s photos on the web into one continuous movie of anything everywhere, all the freakin time!!!
Mwa-ha-ha-ha.
