Geotagging Flickr with Google Maps

If you’re cool (and you would­n’t be read­ing this site if you weren’t), I know you are using both Flickr and Google Maps for all your pho­to shar­ing and ter­ra-info needs. You may even be adding Geo­T­ags to your pho­tos. How­ev­er, you realy need to check out Geo­t­ag­ging Flickr with Google Maps and Grease­mon­key, which brings all this togeth­er in a rel­a­tive­ly easy for­mat. Just look up where you took the pho­to on Google Maps, and then add the loca­tion to your Flickr tags with a click or two. This all makes use of the Grease­mon­key plu­g­in for Fire­fox (also, read why it will blow you’re mind), and I know you’re using Fire­fox, right? You can then use the Geoblog­ger inter­face to find you’re pho­tos on a map, as well as oth­er’s pho­tos. This is so sweet.
