incredible photography/internet software

I just watched this TED talk video on Seadragon and Photosynth- two programs that allow for incredible new possibilities for photos (and all images). I highly recommend watching the video to get a good idea of their capabilities. Photosynth is available free online, but, of course, it's only compatible with Microsoft Windows.

Photosynth creates hyperlinks between images and relates them to each other through algorithms that spacially organize the images. In time, this could create a "collective memory" of our "social environment."
