Places is (are?) really beautiful and useful.

One thing I’d love to see in a future release is the ability to browse, as opposed to search, from top-level Places to child nodes. For example, if I’m on the California page, I’d like some links that point to popular cities like San Francisco and LA (child links ranked by interestingness). It would be particularly helpful when I’m navigating Places I’m not familiar with… say a country I’m thinking about visiting for vacation.

Nice work. Looking forward to your next few posts on this.

This is a really beautiful product, Dan, even despite the initial hiccups. Glad to see flickr keep plugging away at it. I’m looking forward to getting the interactive map back.

I also admire the transparency you and the team are showing on the discussion forums.

Here’s my blog post on Places:

Our lovely viewr ( http://www.quakr.co.uk/viewr ) currently queries to flickr by bounding box – does this mean we could call for a city or town and get all the geo-positioned photos attached? That would make the interface another stage easier to use…

Comments welcome…

However, they never released any actual details on it.

What would be useful would be to adapt the emerging URI Template Standard to the OpenSearch-Geo Extension to provide a meaningful spec for anyone to easily build a Flickr Places url.

Also building a usable geocoder, or utilizing the Geonames ID’s, that allowed someone to give an string text location, or latitude & longitude and be able to build a URL that way would also be very useful.

While looking through the blogosphere we stumbled on an interesting post today.Here’s a quick excerpt Last week we (as in flickr) launched the whole new Places pages. Something of which I’m inordinately proud of. Although I’m still a bit too tired and busy with other stuff to be able to fully enjoy it, I think I’ll feel a lot happier and content when things have settled down and I have a chance to tune and tweak it at in a slightly more relaxed reflective state. [Now, I was going to do a post where I got to talk about all the cool and interesting things about the project, how it came about, de [...]
