Week 3: Thing 6

I was intrigued by the color wheel mashup; however, it would not apply to a classroom situation that I can tell. It is great if you're remodeling a bathroom and need a picture to match a particular color of paint or shower curtain. The one that I did think could be helpful is the map application that allows users to upload pictures of places on the globe a map. Once again, this seems like a place where dupication needs to be replaced with a monopoly. Google Earth is such an undertaking that these pictures would be better off added to the existing Google Earth/Google Maps structure rather than Flickr creating their own mapping software. It seems redundant. This would be helpful in a classroom if, say, we are reading Catcher in the Rye, and I want my students to see where a particular place is and what it looks like in NYC. Most of this is already discussed in my previous post.
