June 14, 2007Yahoo! Zurfer – Flicker for Handheld DevicesYahoo! Zurfer is a research prototype application from Yahoo! Research Berkeley which brings the location based photo browsing functionalities of Flicker to mobile devices.
Zurfer is ideal travel companion as it can show you photos that have been taken around your location providing an opportunity search Flickr and discover what local highlights there are to see. Its possible to access the latest photos posted by Flickr friends and check on comments on your own Flickr photos. To use Yahoo! Zurfer you need a free Flickr account and a free Zonetag account. ZoneTag is another Yahoo! Research Berkeley application which simplifies geotagging of photos taken with cell phones and other mobile devices. Zurfer has been tested on the N73, N95, N80, 6682 and N70 Nokia Series 60 v2 and v3 cell phones and the Motorola RAZR V3x. Yahoo! Research Berkeley believes it should work on most Nokia Series 60 v2 and v3 phones. Yahoo! Zurfer is yet another example of the spread of GPS location based social networking services. Other GPS social networking services recently reviewed are: Yahoo! Zurfer is a not a certified Yahoo! Application (yet) and its installation and use are at the risk of the user.
