Flickr Timeline Map

Flickr Map

According to Programmable Web after Google Maps, Flickr is the most mashed-up service on the web. With all the Flickr maps out there it is quite difficult to come up with something new or different to justify yet another map of people's photographs. Luckily Flickr Map has come up with a fresh approach that adds a really useful feature.

Flickr Map uses the Simile Timeline with Flickr and Google Maps to create a searchable map of Flickr photographs. Adding the Simile timeline means that users can search the map for photographs by tag and also by time. So, for example, it is possible to compare photos taken in New York in January with those taken in July.
