"Flickr has introduced a new privacy feature called geofences that allows users to create geographic privacy settings for photos' location data. \nWith the new feature, Flickr users can draw a circle on a map to designate a geofence and then choose a geographic privacy setting for that area. Users can create up to 10 geofences, and previously uploaded photos are also updated with the new geo-privacy settings.\n\"You might want to create a geofence around the your 'home' or 'school' that only allows 'Friends and Family' to see the location of the photos you geotag in that area by default,\" Flickr said in a blog post on the update. \"So the next time you upload a photo with a geotag in the radius of a geofence, it will follow the geo privacy setting you've designated for that hotspot.\"\nFlickr, a Yahoo property, has been characterized as slow to innovate, especially amid the mobile photo-sharing boom. The geofences feature, however, addresses one of the primary concerns associated with geotagged images \u2014 Flickr claims to have more than 300 million geotagged photos and videos on its site \u2014 and should receive a welcome reception from the service's users."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
