GeoRSS Weblog

In my presentation at Where 2.0, I warned that my brief survey of support would be out of date by the end of the conference. I talked to many folks about GeoRSS, and so many had plans to implement, cause it is simply so easy that not supporting it would be more work! Here’s a few GeoRSS developments I noticed coming out of Where..

• GeoTagThings, “a simple way to assign any web resource - anything with a url - a location in the normal, human physical world”, launched with GeoRSS support.
• Flagr added GeoRSS to its feeds.
• Plazes quietly added GeoRSS to some of its feeds, and has more complete support across their service in the works.
• VirtualEarth is pushing forward its support of GeoRSS, and has even reborrowed my borrowed hype about “GeoRSS as the Unix pipe of Geo data”
• Yahoo, at their lunch meetup, mentioned they are looking into GeoRSS export from their API .. a step towards unlocking data from all the AJAX based mashups out there, that I’ve been pushing for a while.
