Flickr has added a new feature to its organizer - the ability to add geotags to your photos. And best of all it is done visually. There is now a map tab where you can navigate to a location and then automatically add the geotags to that location to a flickr photo or batch of photos. The feature also includes privacy controls so you can make the geotag private independently of the friends/family privacy codes.
But it gets better: flickr is now using screencasts!
Here's the how-to information in the FAQ
Here's the screencast: Geotags
Next thing I did was geotag some of the photos from our vacation. So for example, if you were looking at my photo set of Lucy of the Elephant and clicked on the map you will see where the photo was taken!
You can also use the geotags and the map in flickr to explore photos. Here's a screencast that explains how. This has some wonderful potential for educational projects, think 4th grade geography.
