Flickrvision: Realtime Image Mapping
Like its older sibling site Twittervision, the new Flickrvision shows realtime geolocation information, but instead on inane comments via Twitter, Flickrvision overlays images uploaded to Flickr.
[Flickrvision][1] is the brainchild of David Troy, the developer who created the original [Twittervision][2]. The new site seems to hint that Troy is moving toward a more generic visualization platform, which means other "visions" may be forthcoming.
Flickrvision pulls in all geocoded images uploaded to Flickr and overlays then on a Google Map, updating in realtime. Of course the realtime component refers to uploading the images, not actually taking them.
Several people in the [Metafilter thread where I ran across Flickrvision, have suggested that using only geocoded mobile phone submissions would give Flickrvision a more "what's happening right now" feel, but it would also be severely limited and probably not as much fun.
As it is Flickrvision is certainly hypnotic and addictive, the reason to be late to work.
