Flickr to launch geotagging

Created by Stuart Yeates (University of Oxford) on August 29, 2006

As a regular geotagger, I've just been invited to import my geotagged photos into the new flickr geotagging system. It's not live yet, so I can see what it looks like, but I can confirm that there's a privacy step, so you can make the geospatial information avaliable within the context of the flickr privacy framework.

We are not automatically importing existing geotagged photos into the new system since there are some privacy features we want people to be aware of. The location a photo was taken can be kept private, even if the photo itself is public. You can set a preference for the default location privacy and change it on a photo-by-photo or batch basis. Importing will respect whatever privacy setting you choose.
