Thing 22 Flickr fun....Flickr mashups

The mashup which I found interesting was Mappr. Mappr allows you to take Flickr images and paste them on a map. The Stamen Design Group,in 2004, started to collect images from Flickr and compare them to a U.S. Postal Service database of place names. Their collaborative ingenuity was centered around the idea of having a mapping of photos without having to depend on cameras which had GPS locators installed in them. This mashup has potential applications for tourism, and promotion of regional events etc.
