By MICHAEL LIEDTKE SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc. bills the latest twist on its online maps as &quot;Street View,&quot; but it looks a bit like &quot;Candid Camera&quot; as you cruise through the panorama of pictures that captured fleeting moments in neighborhoods scattered across the country.

Lance Knobel: "I'd install FlickrFan in every middle school and high school social studies class. I guarantee it would provoke endless discussion and ensure engagement in the issues of the day." I totally agree. It would be great to see it at checkout lines in supermarkets and on kiosks in BART stations too.

Wow, this is really really coooooool.  The Library of Congress is partnering with Flickr, releasing pictures that it believes are not copyrighted, through Flickr. One of the fantastic side-effects of that is that there's an RSS 2.0 feed of those pictures that connects perfectly to FlickrFan.  If you click on this link on the machine that FlickrFan is running on, you'll automatically subcribe to the Library of Congress feed on Flickr. This is one of those moments when the standards are working, really well.  PS: If for some reason it doesn't work, try clicking on this link to get the latest update (v0.42), then click on the link above again.

I just fixed another bug in the category processing in Flickr-to-Twitter. It's amazing that such a small piece of code can have so many bugs.  This time, the problem was if you had two tags on a photo, one of them was the one that was supposed to let your picture pass, and the other was a tag for some other purpose. You'd think the pic would flow through to Twitter.  Well, it should.  But it didn't.  Now it does.

Microsoft may mess things up for Flickr, but Yahoo hasn't been so great either.
