(I consider geocoding to be embedding the GPS info into the EXIF metadata.) I have also included information on the related topic of geotagging for Flickr and other photo sites."

The Google Earth Blog discuss different ways to browse geotagged photos in Google Earth, especially those found on Flickr. From the blog: "But, as more people start geotagging their photos, and more cameras come out with built-in GPS/geotagging capabilities, we will see a lot larger number of photos. The idea of showing rated photos is a particularly useful concept and will become important as we get larger numbers of photos geotagged." He also mentions Picasa 2.5 Beta photo geotagging capabilities.

Your Picasa photo albums exported to KML in Google Earth? Consider this done. From the Ogle Earth blog, in addition to Picasa web albums (CNET and Google Blogoscoped), geotagged photos will be exported directly in Google Earth. From the blog: "We'll have to await a formal announcement to see wether this also heralds server-hosted My Places for Google Earth, in addition to Picasa photos. It would certainly be in keeping with the direction Google has been heading in for its most recent launches." Also, from a GB comment: "you can Geotag your pictures in Google Earth, automatically creating a KML file with no need to know programming. I could see people sharing picture tours using [Picasa] and KML, and sharing the link via Google Maps." Here's the official announcement (web sharing).
