See the world with Panoramio

panoramioPanoramio is a Google Maps mashup that lets you map your photos. It also lets you check out foreign, and local, destinations and images that others have submitted. With Panoramio, users store up to 2GB worth of digital images in their free account, and pinpoint the exact location they were taken, care of Google Maps. This could be a great way to walk your friends through a recent hiking trip in Arizona, or a European vacation route, or quite simply your path to work. I love these kinds of social mashups. They provide a ton of insight into geographical locations, and make me think more about locations that I might want to check out one day, and reminisce about locations that I once was. Not too many places are listed at the moment, but once this catches on, I'm sure its going to provide a lot of great content.
