Flickr.com acquires slashgeo.org! Just kidding ;-) Amongst the recent enhancements, I added a feature to slashgeo that you won't even find on slashdot: the ability to add Flickr images to your journal entries. Journal what? slashgeo gives every member a journal where you can write stuff in it. You can now share your Maps and Screenshots directly in your journal using this. At your choice, you can let other members comment on your journal entries.
Want to use and try this? Go in your users prefs to add your Flickr ID and then go to your journal and write something and include that Flickr picture! Of course, an explanation would not be complete without a proof of concept ;-) I took the time to update a lot of minor elements of slashgeo, including adding the Last Journal entries slashbox on the righ-hand side of slashgeo's main page.

Industry: Major slashgeo Update & New Media 1 comment

The guys at Slashdot are working hard on slashgeo's engine. Last weekend, slashgeo was significantly updated. I can't tell you everything that's new and we'll have to decide which features we'll give you access. In short, this is excellent news. As a first new feature, users have a greater control on the way stories are displayed on the main page depending on the story's type. Go see it for yourself and change your homepage preferences (extended explanation below). We'll introduce and explain new features as fast as we can.
Not related but of interest, CNN Money had a praiseful article last month about Slashdot and the slashcode engine, the engine behind slashgeo.org. Don't miss Very Spatial's superb 47 minutes podcast of the AAG Panel Session on new media.

Industry: Flickr and Yahoo Maps! Integration Coming
[+]
The Neologies blog somewhat confirms Flickr and Yahoo Maps! is getting more integration. From the blog: "That panel prompted me to set my default geotagging permissions for new photos (that is, who can see the geotagging information). After selecting "Everyone", I was presented a map to which I could drag and drop photos, thus tagging them with latitude and longitude information."
Technology: Info on Geocoding Photos 3 comments

rakerman writes "I am interested in automated geocoding of photos from GPS track logs, so I have put together a page with all the information I could find: geocoding photos. (I consider geocoding to be embedding the GPS info into the EXIF metadata.) I have also included information on the related topic of geotagging for Flickr and other photo sites."
