Flickr users have gone nuts with posting screenshots of Google Maps’s new satellite photo feature (see previous entry), if the “map” and “maps” tags are any indication. There’s also a new Flickr group called Memory Maps, the idea of which “is to take a satellite image of your neighborhood from your childhood, and use ‘notes’ to tell the story of you growing up.”

On a related note, Jason Kottke argues that the hullabaloo about Google Maps, as compared to other services that have been offering similar features, boils down to a superior user experience that makes Google Maps much more fun to play around with — which, given all the Flickr foolery linked to above, is plain to see.
