Gramfeed Adds Google Maps Search

Gramfeed

Gramfeed, the excellent web application that showcases Instagram photos, has now added a Google Maps interface. Instagram is an iPhone application that allows users to share their photographs with friends and family. 

Gramfeed uses the Instagram API to present the best photos from Instagram and allows users to view their photos, a time-line of those they follow, read comments on photos and Tweet about photos and much, much more.

Since Gramfeed launched it has been getting a lot of favourable press and I've been a frequent visitor to the site because it regularly features excellent photos taken using Instagram. 

Every time I have visited Gramfeed, however, I have wondered why there is no way to browse the photographs by map. I was therefore over the moon when Gramfeed contacted me today to promote their new Google Maps based visualisation of Instagram photos. 

Yes, that's right, using the Gramfeed map you can now search for the latest Instagram photographs by location. 

International Women's Day on Google Maps

Pegwoman 

To celebrate International Women's Day it seems that Pegman has unfairly been given the day off work and Pegwoman has been told she has to fill in. If you look at Google Maps Street View today you will see that Pegman has been replaced with Pegwoman.

Join me on the Bridge

March 8th is the centenary of International Women’s Day. To celebrate the occasion people will be coming together on bridges all over the world, from the Millennium Bridge in London, the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City, the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, to the Grand Barriere Bridge joining Rwanda and Congo.

Google is collaborating with Women for Women International on their 'Join me on the Bridge' campaign. Part of this collaboration includes this Google Map to help you find a bridge event near you.
