Someone from the OSMF presscontact division ( Hi SteveC :P) should 
really make a pressrelease about the symbiotic relationship between 
Yahoo and OSM coming full circle - OSM was allowed to use the sat 
imagery Yahoo maps displayed, and now Yahoo benefits from being able to 
display OSM maps on their Flickr photosite worldmap.
This time, don't /. it, but send the pressrelease to CNN and similar 
"Old Media" companies. Remember to tell in the pressrelease, that 
Beijing isn't the only area where OSM has more and better data, than 
commercial geoproviders... Cyprus, IoM etc are good examples to mention.

If others can capitalize on the Olympic Games mediainterest, why 
shouldn't we also ?
