Season2 Episode4 - Festival
New intro music today, also new section on show looking at web technology. Geotagging is highlighted as well as Google map mash ups as well as getting flickr photos pinpointed on a Google map and then in Google Earth. I also talk about my experience and what I found at the Summer Sundae music festival a couple of weekends ago. I had on the calendar a tour of Villa Park, the local football stadium and it was impressive, so I touch on that and also just a small update about the Melanoma situation.

Web Tips:
Ok so a new addition to the show I hope to continue with is a web tips section. I hottly recommend checking out the wikimapia and also, even as a user, if you have Google Earth, check out the Yuan.CC web feed file below.
- Wikimapia.org | Birmingham
- Yuan.CC Maps
- Photo sharing site with ability to geotag
- Tutorial on geotagging with Flickr and Firefox
Even if you haven’t got Flickr or understand how to geotag your photos if you do have flickr, see other peoples photos in Google Earth right now by clicking the following link. It’s mega cool, you need to download Google Earth, if you don’t have it already:

You can stream the show from this page using the player below, or add my podcast feed to your podcatching software, such as iTunes, or Juice. If you are more of the traditional sort download the mp3. Comments can be left in the following form. This show has chapters encoded into the MP3 file, although not supported in players yet, this is the way to go. Whenever the letters “ch” appear in the filename, you can skip around using a player which supports MP3 chapters. Technology developed by the BBC and uploaded here

Lee,
Congratulations for being one of the first podcasters to use ID3 chapters! Hopefully, support for the technology will grow and more people will be able to enjoy the benefits.
Best regards,
Chris
