Dan Catt, ex-senior engineer for Flickr, has been interested in maps since the mid nineties, when he worked on a number of Kiosks and CD-ROMS for the National Parks of England and Wales. Mapping was put on the back burner for being too expensive in the UK, until Google launched their UK maps data early in 2005. Geobloggers.com was created with the aim of letting people share walks and experiences by placing Flickr photos onto the map using geotagging. Catt created the first geotagged photo in March of 2005; by the end of the year there were over 100,000 geotagged images.
Catt has worked with both pre and post official API Google Maps, Virtual Earth, and pre-beta Yahoo! Maps, and can generally be found pushing the virtues of geoRSS as a way to share geo-data.
Is now looking at data in sideways glances.
