Exploit Boston just showed us a new tool. We're totally keen on it. Though our preference has been for Google Maps since they launched, we knew Yahoo would do something to integrate their purchased web properties to try and win us over to their map world. This. Could. Be. It. You've been able to geotag your photos for some time. Now all you have to do is drag and drop photos on a map. Using location data with your Flickr set and maps will probably result in a greater time vacuum while toying with your photos. Sooz pushed the Exploit Boston photo group's geotagged (or geocoded, same thing) photos of events anywhere you take them, to the Yahoo Map with the ease Flickr and Yahoo integration have provided. The result isn't massive yet – but it is interactive and relies on users to add their geotags to their photos when submitting them to the group. The map will surely become more populated as the data set continues to increase. More news on the where, what, and how at Flickr Blog.
