It's a small world, man.

The Internet has amazing stuff. No wonder it changed the world. Check this out:

loc.alize.us - Explore your world through everyone's eyes

This site morphs a satellite view of the world with Google maps and photos from flickr.com. You can search for a place, see it in a bird's eye view, find the street its on and see the photos of that place that people have uploaded on flickr.com.



To the left is a screen shot from the site. It's the satellite view of the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan. If you would go to the site and click on the little blue icon, you'd see the picture below. I have that same picture in my Taiwan photo album, but without those people in it.

The site isn't perfect of course. I wanted to put a picture of my street on this blog, but the satellite image didn't zoom that close to my small, backwards town. And depending where you are, sometimes the Google Map can't zoom in that far either.



I'm actually thankful for that. This site could take stalking to a whole new level.
