Cool idea for a service like Flickr (or at least Flickr in its prime, which is not now) to exploit -- given EXIF data and a database of photos, one could find all the photos taken in the same location at the exact time. While almost no cameras embed GPS information, I bet there are ways to infer the location in many cases.
- phamilton 9y agoThis was in fact the business of the infamous Color startup[0]. For those not familiar, they raised a ridiculous amount of money, then shut down and returned most of it to the investors. My favorite memory of Color was when they became a landmark when they bought a massive office in downtown Palo Alto, got hit with zoning restrictions which forced them to use the ground floor for retail or leave it empty (they left it empty).
