GeoRSS makes Flickr photos in Google maps easy

Standard data formats enable powerful interoperability.
For example, Google's new support for GeoRSS means that (if you have already geocoded your photos in Flickr), you can easily plot your photo feed on a Google Map

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne%3Fid%3D48889071218%40N01%26format%3Drss_200%26georss%3Dtrue&layer=&ie=UTF8&z=7&om=1&iwloc=G

Simply locate the feed link on your Flickr page, e.g.

Subscribe to a feed of stuff on this page... Feed – Subscribe to rakerman's photos

copy the link, add &georss=true on the end, and paste it into the Google Maps search box.
