Where You Are
This is an interesting project in collaborative tagging: Where You Are:
Everyone is invited to contribute photos, videos, links, and other content taken from or for his neighborhood, and tag them with a special geotag (e.g. ur60329de for Frankfurt's Railway Station) for indicating the location. Whereyouare aggregates the content from Flickr, Vimeo, del.icio.us, Technorati, and Foundcity, so each place gets his own access point for exploration.

Whereyouare is an experiment in the collective documentation of neighborhoods. I began this project with the idea of documenting my own neighborhood of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, whose quirky and ephemeral beauties are currently endangered by a wave of new development. As with most people, recent events have radically altered my idea of what an endangered or lost neighborhood is, and it seemed right to open the project up for wider use.

It's an interesting project.
Last i checked it assumed that US Zip Code = US neighborhood, which works for Brooklyn but fails for suburban and rural parts of the world.
It's worth also pointing out the I-Neighbors project (now at Penn?) which has similar neighborly focus, though more of the share your tools side than the photodocumentary side.
