Google Earth blog has recently mentioned the upgraded Panoramio photo sharing website (see article). I’ve just had a go at playing with the new upload and mapping features, and I’m very impressed at the ease with which photos can be geotagged. Once in Panoramio, photos are available in Google Earth via the Panoramio network link.

Tagzania exploits the web 2.0 phenomenon of tagging via a superbly designed site, that lets you add tags and other resources to locations, via the Google Maps interface.
Thanks for your post, I’m glad you like the new uploading and mapping system from Panoramio.
Cheers,
