Flickr Improves Geotagging With "Places Pages"

Flickr has improved their geotagging system by making it a lot easier for people to find, view and search for photos based on places and tags.

Currently culling from over 70,000 places, you may now search for apples in New York, elephants in India, Guinness in Ireland – or anything else your heart desires. Just enter the location and a tag and Flickr will take you there.

Along with photos, Flickr is getting more location-centric by providing the time, weather and relevant Flickr Groups for the location you’re searching.

Yahoo! plans to evolve the service by eventually allowing people to search by time or season.
