Geotagging made a little easier

As the lead developer at 23 I’m often left handling and implementing the wonderful suggestions from our users. This process certainly makes 23 a much, much better photo sharing service — but at times it’s a bit overwhelming. This made is that much sweeter for me to be able to send a feature request to IkoTikashi this week, and to see him come up with a nice little helper tool for geotagging.

Geotagger basically allows you to enter an address pretty much anywhere in the world and then (by sheer magic) have geotags generated for you — ready for copy-pasting in to 23.

The tool also supports 23’s special place tags. These tags makes it easy to have multiple photos geotagged from the same place: When you first geotag a photo, include a tag such as “place:home” or “place:amalienborg“. Now, when you use the special place tag on other photos, your geotags are automatically added as well.

Remember also, that we’ve written about IkoTikashis set of tools before.

    Wow, those place tags are awesome! Now all I have to do is sift through all my previous photos to add them :P
