Corin and I were mentioned in the travel section of last Sunday’s Boston Globe. The article was about the Vermont 251 Club: They beat a path to all 251 cities and towns in Vermont. I haven’t actually seen the print version, but on the web version the article uses one of our photos.  There’s also a “More Photos” link which has a handful of our photos.

Unfortunately, they chose not to include the photo of the anonymous mooner which they mention in the article.

I spoke with the Internet Archive today in hopes of getting a better idea of when they would make the liberated maps available.  They are currently working on the September 11 archive.  Once that is done, the maps should get some attention.  Timeframe given was, “a few days to a week”.

To test out Flickr’s new geotagging feature, I just finished up “mapping” all our 251 Club photos with Flickr. For a first attempt, they’ve done a great job of making it easy to geotag photos.  It isn’t always great at finding street addresses (in Vermont at least), but the drag-and-drop functionality is very smooth.

Another annoyance is that, in order for the map to be useable, they have to limit the number of photos that are shown on any given map.  They seem to be very conservative with how many dots per page they show.  This means you have to page through all the photos, which takes time to refresh. So the process is a bit slow.
As more people geotag photos, this has the potential of providing a way to find interesting sites in particular areas.
