Flickr adds GeoRSS and KML links - front and center
plasq’s Skitch“>
Flickr has had GeoRSS support for awhile, but it was subtle in that it used to require you to add &georss=1 to the end of feed URL’s.
Dan Catt recently announced on his blog that Flickr now puts the links to the GeoRSS and KML front and center.
Look for the geoFeed link in the RSS section at the bottom of a group or tag page. Dan’s example of UFO’s looks like http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/geo/?tags=ufo&lang=en-us&format=rss_200.
What’s really neat now is if you mix Minimap Firefox plugin I mentioned earlier, drag and drop the GeoRSS feed from the Flickr tags into it, and now you can view a map of the Flickr photos in the sidebar while you browse the actual photos on the Flick Page.
