We covered geotagging in this week's class and watched a thorough demonstration of how to build and place KML files. I enjoyed watching this process because it provided some transparency to a concept that I have previously been somewhat intimidated by. It is always inspiring to realize that something seemingly new or complicated is actually simple to learn and execute.
Before now, I have encountered KML files mostly via Google applications and sometimes touristy websites. Geotagging, as a concept, is a little more widespread. Flickr does a great job with geotagging (and can also be a great reference tool). But I'm excited by the prospect of using it in more library applications.
