What’s Google Up To?
Here’s some exciting news! According to ZDNet, Google purchased three new domains this Monday: googleimagetagger.com, .net and .org. What does this mean exactly?
Well, according to ZD Net’s Garett Rogers’s research it goes like this: He searched “image tagger” online and found a piece of software from Earthmate.com that takes information recorded from a GPS receiver and compares it with the timestamp on pictures to display where images were taken on a map. So In theory this could be something that Google could do with Google Earth/Maps, a GPS receiver and Picasa?
That would be completely amazing. The other possibility, which was the first thing I thought of when I saw those domain names, is just a more Flickr-like, social networking site-esque way to tag your photos or someone else’s.
I guess we shall soon see…
