Thing 16: Geotagging

This is it peeps; my final "Thing". Me, geotagging. Who'd of thought it?

At first I thought this was kinda lame. But I kept snooping around and reading about it and I'm starting to come around. It's really easy to do (in Flickr, at least). I had read somewhere that the Coen Brothers use this kinda thing when they are scouting locations for their films.

I used my photo from Thing 9 and geotagged it. You can check it out here. You can find the location by clicking the "map" link in the lower right hand side, under the "Additional Information" heading. Pretty sweet huh?

I went with the Flickr option cuz I already had an account with them and I am trying to wrap this thing up today. I will look around at the others when my time frees up.

I think I will start geotagging photos more. I think my kids will really like this. They're crazy about maps. I don't see any application to Library work but if you gimme some time, I'll come up with something.

Geocaching? I have to agree with the "16 Things Overlord" and his (or her) infinite wisdom. This seems pretty stupid to me. Who would waste that much time and energy (and fuel) on treasure hunting?

Forget it. Now I'm just getting angry about this.

Right now I think I need to put some emotional distance between me and this "Thing".
