Historypin: building largest historical image archive

Historypin is some sort of timetravel device. You can now look up historical imagery inside a Google Maps interface using historypin. I think its cool to see how your town looked like in the old days, maybe before you were even born. See those old horse trams riding down the streets before Prius’ were dominating the road.

Historypin shows how street view can be used in alternate ways. Add your own imagery and share it with the world. Help historypin become the largest database of historical data.
I love to see how this program works out and how soon the netherlands will be mapped with historical images. I bet my parents have some real old pictures kept in a box somewhere. Let’s take the trip down memory lane and start uploading those images.
