Godseye is a project that allows its users to attach pictures and stories to homes, trees, shops, and other parts of their neighborhoods and cities. You begin by gradually zooming in on high-quality, color aerial photographs, then selecting a building or other feature. When you focus on a specific feature, you can view and contribute storefront photographs, histories, or personal stories.

The potential uses of this data are vast and compelling. We spend lots of time playing around in online communities now, but there can be a mutually beneficial relationship between physical and online neighborhoods, and godseye proves it beautifully.
