What would you do with free pictures of everything on Earth?

My new site

http://ookaboo.com/

uses information extraction and other semantic tech to create a photo atlas
of the world which is indexed to terms from the semantic web.  Currently
topics in Ookaboo,  such as

http://ookaboo.com/o/pictures/topic/57147/Kandy

are linked to terms from the LOD,  such as Dbpedia and Freebase.  I'm
currently publishing RDFa metadata -- of course,  I'm very aware that I
could be doing a better job in this department.  In addition to the RDFa
metadata,  Ookaboo also has an JSON-based API that makes it easy to look up
photos related to a linked data term:

Anyway,  one of my major priorities is to get people actually using the RDFa
data and/or the JSON API -- I'm interested in talking with anybody who can
use images to illustrated linked data and I'm willing to make the changes to
make things work.  Any comments?
