Will Carter<\/a> and I will be showing a little project we’ve been hammering about for a couple of months. It’s called geotagthings<\/a> and the basic idea behind it is to have a very simple way to assign geographic meta data to arbitrary web resources. Anything with a URL can be given a latitude\/longitude by simply clicking a bookmarklet<\/a>, picking the spot it should be assigned using a map interface, adding a little note and that’s that.<\/p>\n The URL and note get shoved into a data store where it can be accessed through an RSS feed. Anyone can get a feed for a locale simply by going to the feed generator<\/a>, picking where you’d like to get a feed from<\/em>, determining a range around that spot and grabbing the URL from one of the feed badges, and dropping it into your favorite news aggregator, like NetNewsWire.<\/p>\n Easy peasy.<\/p>\n [wikilike_img src=http:\/\/static.flickr.com\/63\/166113233_ff9d729963_d.jpg|caption=|url=http:\/\/www.geotagthings.com|align=thumb tcenter|width=500]<\/p>\n Geotagthings is meant to be more of collection of simple interfaces for geosemantics rather than any sort of destination site or portal or whatever.<\/p>\n Just sign up for an account<\/a> and become part of the collaborative geospatial tagging collective.<\/p>\n Why do I blog this?<\/strong> I think this is one more small piece of a larger puzzle in which I’m trying to find ways to breech the 1st Life\/2nd Life berm.
