TagMaps Web Services

TagMaps is a toolkit to visualize text (well, tags) geographically on a map. TagMaps is available as a Flash component for your own website. The tags input to the visualization can be drawn from your own application - or you use the data API of one of our sample applications, World Explorer, where we used TagMaps to visualize Flickr tags on a map.

TagMaps is a research prototype from Yahoo! Research Berkeley. We'd love to hear your questions or comments; please come visit our blog and drop us a line.

What you can do with TagMaps

Overview

1. Use the World Explorer data APIs to get Flickr tags of any location.
2. Roll your own TagMaps and show your own custom geoRSS data feed.
3. Pimp your blog/homepage/MySpace (or your corporate website) by embedding a World Explorer TagMap widget of your favorite location. You can even create your own interactions with the badge.

Terms of Use
