Earlier today, Darren Rowse at Problogger published a guest post from Rob O’Daniel, who runs the 2Dolphins blog. This post was about Geotagging.
It’s certainly an interesting enough concept. The technology already exists for sites - and blogs - to insert geographical information (latitude, longitude, etc) about themselves into the meta content of their pages. As Rob says:
Once geotagged, media such as websites, blog posts, RSS feeds, images, or videos can be easily displayed on an online map or cross-referenced with other information about that area or location.
Rob goes on to explain in easy-to-understand detail how one can include this information on your own website, even providing a link to a web site called MyGeoPosition.com which will assist you in retrieving this information.
It’s all very straightforward. Very simple.
In fact, it’s too simple. Too easy. And herein lies the problem: the blatant opportunity for deceit.
