OK, I don't know whether this will "count" toward my 23 things, but Flikr led me on a search today which may end up in my connecting with a family I haven't heard from in 20 years.
I checked out the map feature on Flikr, which imposes photos on a world map. I started looking at photos from the area in England where I attended college during my junior year. I also spent a week on a farm near Norwich, with a very kind young family who lived in a beautiful, old house called Coston Hall. By using Flikr's map, I located the town of Coston. No photos there, but a google search using the family's name and the town of Coston turned up a small number of sources, including this farm trade magazine article:

And there was a picture of the farmer I lived with! How exciting; I am going to drop a letter to the family right away, and try to reconnect with them. So, that's my Flikr story, and I'm stickin' to it.
