Geobloggers: Flickr + Google Maps

Take the API for Google Maps (other projects doing this), combine it with images on Flickr tagged with postcodes or longitude/latitude, and you've got Geobloggers .

Doing this and pulled up dozens of photos of the local area:

Geobloggers2

Nice.

(Thanks to Simon and Jane for showing me this today - also nicely blogged on Tempus Fugit)
