There is something fascinating, even quite mesmerizing about this site, Flickervision. It displays, using Google Map, every new image added to Flickr and where it was uploaded from. While I do not see any immediate professional application for it, it could be an interesting marketing tool for an editorial photo agency looking to highlight the depth of international coverage.
