Photosynth
Photosynth is experimental visualization technology that utilizes titanic datasets, like all of Flickr, and presents the data in an easily navigable fashion.
I was most impressed about four minutes in when the demo showed a reconstruction of Notre Dame Cathedral from just images found on Flickr (tagged appropriately of course). I was completely blown away.
This is an amazing feat of software development.
Don’t just stare at the video! Try it out!

This will give me more incentive to go out and shoot.
I don’t think shooting Notre Dame would be appreciated – bullets cause a lot of damange :p
My misspelling aside (*damage), this is really cool. I loved his use of ‘metaverse’, it brought Snow Crash to mind.
