It would be great if the International Center of Photography in NYC, which recently received 3000 undocumented negatives by Robert Capa decided to do the same.

Here's another bear drunk with vodka for geopolitical reasons: Mitrofan. A bear hunted by King of Spain Juan Carlos in the Russian region of Vologda. Reportedly local authorities had the bear drunk with vodka so the King could kill him more easily.

iPhone's "Location" feature helps explain open cell platforms
January 23, 2008 1:16am
The Jaiku client app for some Nokias does celltagging. That's not triangulation but capturing just the IDs of the celltower used for communication. Yet, it's a powerful tool for geolocation.
Whenever a user sends a jaiku with that, cell IDs are transmitted. If those IDs are already identified in Jaiku's database, city and neighboorhood can be inferred (no lat-lon so far in Jaiku's processes, not visible in their API, at least, see http://eibar.org/blogak/luistxo/en/archive/2007/10/11/geodata-in-twitter-s-and-jaiku-s-apis ). If the cell ID is not in the database, the user can also add neighboorhood and city tags on his/her own, and from that moment, any Jaiku user going around that point will be located to the place.
Google bought Jaiku last year. See a recent pic in Flickr by Jaiku's founder Jyri Engestrom chatting with Google's bosses: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jyri/2198675172/ That photo was transmitted with that Nokia's Jaiku app. See the Flickr machine-tags: those are the cell Id's, the other locative tags (Mt. View etc...) were automatically assigned.
