To Yahoo!, from the streets
Wooster Collective reports that Michael Oliver has created a cool hack combining Flickr (a Yahoo! property) and Google Maps to create a dynamic map of street art snapshots as uploaded by users. Of course, Oliver's hack isn't working right now... but there's a similar hack that does work - using geotagged Flickr images and Google Maps - here (though there isn't much that's been mapped yet).
Hey, Yahoo!, maybe it's time to get your map application in shape enough to compete with Google's? This "hack" creates a combination of tools that are not unique to street art afficionados; wait until the travel industry and its journalists pick up on this... if they haven't already.

Hi,
there are ca. 350 pics in my database. But it seems there is an error with the Internet Explorer. So check out my side with the Firefox browser to see the pics. And I hope I can fix the error.
Thanks for the clarification, Andreas.
