Wordpress and Geotagging
I found a Wordpress plugin that does geotagging of posts. I need to see how well it works and whether it tags the RSS feed with location as well. And whether there is an xmlrpc interface to set the location and whether it is possible to do it via the blog api - then my compute could do it automatically for me when I write a post from gnome blog applet or from the Nokia 770..
Then we can hack planet to support it with interesting ways - including the almost realtime hacker plotter. Am I the only one who thinks this stuff is cool?

That’s extremely cool. I’ve got to get a 770! Geoblogging here we come.

Geotagging indeed is cool. For me realtime-hacker-tracking is not that interesting, what would be way cooler (for me) would be geotagging photos: Imagine having a small GPS-logger with you while you shoot photos. Then have a tool to merge the EXIF-date with the recorded positions. That’d be awesome.

Well, there are a thousand interesting uses for geo-information, everyone probably has their favourite one. But the important thing is to have a facility to provide and store the information.. then it is easier for different people to take advantage of the information.
I am starting to think Galago might be a good place for storing this stuff, since it handles presence already. Plus the advantage would be that it is already included with distributions, no need fight to have yet another package added…
