PlaceDB aggregates and geocodes feeds
May 17th, 2006
PlaceDB is another GeoRSS aggregation site which also geocodes news feeds. It uses the Geonames site to do the geocoding and is sponsored by Platial.
PlaceDB: Detroit Metro Area News
Presumably they’ve already built up a list of over 1750 feeds aggregated together, although viewing the feeds seems to show some problems. In addition, the UI requires some serious work to find your lat/lon and bounds.
But it is still a great little utility for getting local news and GeoRSS feeds.
