Flickr now has geotagging for photos. Very cool, I think. I’ve been tagging my photos with locations in the hope it would be easy to geotag them once that feature was available, and it is. I just find a group a pics that were taken at the same location and drag them to a point on a map.

The one troublesome issue is that you can pretty much pinpoint any precise location, so you have to decide if you want the world (or just Flickr users or just Flickr contacts or just Flickr “friends”) to know where you live, for instance. I basically picked a point within a one-mile radius of where I live. I’ll be precise for previous addresses. I’m sure, as I said yesterday, that all of these clues I leave on the internet can lead one to my identity, but I’m not going to be paranoid. After all, people have been listing their addresses in phone directories for a hundred years.
