you have ever wondered why so many immaculate people who use laptops on the beach while wearing linen suits seem to be on so many sites / promotional materials. Their objective is primarily to sell a product or brand. I think that the objective of any image used within editorial on OSM would be to inform and help communicate what OSM does.</span></div><div style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br></span></font></div><div style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px"><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Not sure what you mean by killer app... if i did get it right, then flickr is it, just because of the ability to search effectively across a wide range of images via tags, groups etc</span></font></div><div

I think that this is down to thinking through the potential editorial opportunities. Perhaps a "map the city" "mapathon" type article would need images of groups, or a timeline of images taken from OSM archives that would be relevant to the area/country in question - Baltimore OSM map - 2007, 2008, 2009 or a before and after of the most recent mapathon. Some images can/should be relatively abstract hand, part of map, GPS device. </span></font></div><div style="font-family:arial, helvetica,
