No? You simply must! Below I have mashed together&#160; beach images from <a href="http://www.flickr.com">flickr</a> and linked their meta data concerning where they were taken to&#160; <a href="http://maps.live.com/">virtual earth</a>.So you can see where the images were actually taken.</p> <p>As you can see,&#160; you have full control over the map. It only took me a few minutes to create using a drag and drop tool inside a browser.</p> <p>Popfly ( I have no idea why its called that) is a remarkable tool.</p> <iframe style="width: 500px; height: 375px" src="http://www.popfly.com/users/dsumner/Virtual%20earth%20Beaches.small" frameborder="no" allowtransparency="allowtransparency"></iframe> <p>&#160;</p> <p>What is particularly interesting is the ability to&#160; consume&#160; a service (photos in this case) from another and bind it with another&#160; service (maps). Its relatively easy to expose&#160; services from current sites. This enables users to consume these services in sites,blogs, or social networking applications.</p><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=8701288" width="1" height="1">mashupspopfly
