Hi everyone,
Here is my link to my map on Vintage in NYC: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/vintage/map?&fLat=40.7066&fLon=-73.9725&zl=8
Well, I think it is fun and useful at the same time to be able to not only locate things but get information about the photo such as dates, place, author etc… If you really have a particular research it can be very useful. I think, that for the time being I am more interested to use this process when I visit a place. Google has created recently a phone app called Google Goggles that gives info about a city, monument etc thanks to a picture: http://whatisgooglegoggles.com/google-goggles-wikipedia-the-free-encyclopedia/
More and more, we will be able to use gadgets enhancing our experience when visiting or searching for a place or things and I really believe it’s a great added value.

I actually just started playing around with Google Goggles on my Android. I hadn’t really noticed it until the other day and I opened it up and started scanning images. I scanned a book I just finished reading and thorough the Goggles, I found it online. I scanned my dog’s face and it came up with nothing! I knew it would, but I wanted to see for sure…
This reminds me of the bar code scanner I installed on my Droid. I have played with that app but I felt a little weird using it in a store (which I have only done once). I appreciate that Google is going away from “product” recognition to more useful applications, like you suggest, scanning monuments and getting info about a city. I’ll have to try that out, too.
