time&place site: public photo albums with date & place specified

There's quite a few photo album sites that let users upload their photos for people to see. I think it would be nice if there was such a site that let you specify a) the date, and b) the location the photos were taken. Then if you were interested in photos of certain place and/or a certain time (e.g. "Edinburgh around new year 2002") you could search for other peoples photos - it would be nice to see other views of an event you were at, for instance...

it's easy enough to tag with the "place" part of the equation. Now we just need to integrate timestamps... [egnor, Oct 17 2004]

My my,po. You don't look a day over 800. I would never have taken you for a participant at William the Conqueror's defeat of the Saxophones.

trouble is I only had a Kodak brownie at the time :)

This is a good idea. Nice and simple and quite interesting. In fact, I think that you should go ahead and bake it, lardus.

I'd like to take a look at any photos from the Grassy Knowl, Dallas, Texas November 22, 1963.

Is that when Scotland fell into the darkness of bagpipes?

Jerusalem, December 0 - there was this nightclub and it was fairly heaving. Herod was in town and the wine flowed.... no film in my brownie.

define: heaving

In this context, full to (and possibly beyond) fire limit. (Also means extremely dirty.)

Then we could print the photos and make structural differentials with them.

I'm now seriously thinking of baking this idea. (I have the skills needed as I'm a software engineer by trade.)

I'm interested in having discussion (via an email list I could set up) with anyone interested in talking about this idea. You don't have to be technically minded to join in.

If you're interested in joining the discussion, I've set up a yahoo group for an email list. To join, email timeandplacesite-subscribe@yahoogroups.com, or see the web page in my link above.
