Geotagging!!
This post uses a great little plug-in called Geotagging, built by Michaël Uyttersprot. The Wordpress plug-in adds georeferences to RSS feeds, thus allowing a tool to place them on a map.
For the sake of experiment, I’m going to tag this post from where I’m writing (Columbia Missouri). I’ll even go back and tag the Social Media Summit posts at the hotel in Chicago where the Summit was held.
With this georeference added, it’s now easy to have googlemaps read the RSS feed from this blog and put a pointer on the map for each blog post. Here’s a googlemap showing all feeds from this blog.
This is part of the experimentation I’m doing for getting georeferenced information shared between communities, state and federal agencies on recreational opportunities in Missouri…
More to come as the experiment continues.
