Google Earth Community: 50 Nearest Flikr Photos

Rev Dan Catt at GeoBloggers.com has created the attached KML(TM) Network Link(TM) so that simply by clicking on the attachment, saving it to your "Places" folder, and then enabling it you will be able to see the 50 photos hosted on Flikr that are geospatially tagged as being closest to the center of your present viewpoint.

Enable the Network Link; fly to MIT in Cambridge, MA; wait four seconds; then watch the photos arrive!

The photo set will refresh four seconds after you stop moving, so fly where ever you want to visit, pause for a few seconds, and then enjoy the arrival of 50 thumbnail images that are tagged as in that neighborhood. Like what you see? Click on one of the thumbnail images to get a link to the full-size hosted image.

Want to build a service like this for the millions of Google Earth users? Check the KML Discussion forum and code.google.com for easy to follow instructions and source code.
