EarthAlbum.com - A GoogleMaps/Flickr Mashup

So you think the world is your oyster and you’re young and you’re free to go anywhere, do anything. Well, with Earth Album you can. Earth Album is a clever GoogleMaps/ flickr mashup that allows you to explore the world via a gorgeous array of flickr photos. So, fancy a trip to Namibia, or Brazil? Not a problem. Click on the map and you’ll find a group of photos pop showing Brazil’s best. Click on any of the photos to enlarge and get a little description to go with. Or click on the link to visit that flickr page. Earth Album’s been around for a while, but fear not, the images change every few week so you don’t have to worry about getting bored. And you can search your own location with the find me or find location features.

  Why it might be a killer  

Earth Album is a fun site to cruise around the world without even stepping out the front door. It’s a simple concept, and doesn’t require a lot of upkeep.

  Some questions  

Will users easily tire of Earth Album? Why not make the photo groupings more precise to match each cities rather than pic of surrounding, more famous cities?
