Bloomsbury Group Project

http://www.panoramio.com/map/?user=3201043#lt=51.397287&ln=0.0312445&z=7

I tried using Panoramio, but I found that using Google Maps was easier.  

Here's the link to my Panoramio. 

I thought my Google Maps one 

(with all of the Bloomsbury Group addresses I can find, by year) 

was easier to interpret. I put pictures in there as well.

The Bloomsbury Group consisted of many brilliant literary individuals who all seem to have a common bond of some sort. Many met at the Cambridge University while studying, and later lived together. They shared not only a common bond of literature, but also relations with each other. Their sexual explorations are represented in their respected arts, and it was fun to see how close of a proximity they were all to each other. Like a college fraternity or sorority, they fraternized with each other, and made history along with it.

    Very nice job! Panoramio is may be easier for pictures, though. But it is hard to beat Google Maps.

    This has to do just with minor stuff. The posting is great. But at the top is "Bloomberg Group Project" and then "I tried using Panoramio, but..." What follows can be read in my Dashboard summary but not on the blog itself. There doesn't appear to be a line break. This means I can't get to your Panoramio link, which I'd like to see, too! Best, JM
