A an old John Udell piece at InfoWorld hints at GeoURLs, but the GoeURL site is down, and has been for a while. The concept sounds interesting: you mark pages with coordinates, then use GIS to map those pages to geographic locations, finding pages and people of interest along the way.
To join GeoURL, you add this kind of metadata to your homepage:
<META name=“ICBM” content=“42.93564,-72.27239”>
<META name=“DC.title” content=“Jon Udell”>
I got interested in this sort of thing (geolocation) a while back, and I haven’t quite given up.
Update: Bjørn is right, GeoURL is back and I should have updated this post ages ago. Look here for more about geolocation on MaisonBisson. …And Bjørn’s website is worth a look too.
