SpotKast now enables bloggers to geo-tag their posts simply by embedding a latitude/longitude tag. Let's use this blog as an example. Next week, we will be in Orlando for CTIA, which is being held at the Orange County Convention Center. If I want this post to appear to any SpotKast user as they walk by the Convention Center, all I need to do is place the following anywhere within the body of the post:
spotkast [ latlon = 28.4264 -81.4696 ]
The latlon is the latitude/longitude location of the OCCC building. Within 15 minutes, it will be viewable at that location. If you don't like the aesthetics of the spotkast tags, you can place them at the end of your post in small letters, or with no color. Pretty simple, eh? Sure beats having to mess with the XML. Do you happen to be near the OCCC? Check out your SpotKast Local Web section....
Hey buddy! Nice blog that you maintain here.. I just chanced upon your blog surfing the blogosphere. I was thinking.. you could try out some interesting widgets on your page and spice it up with more relevant information. E.g try out the new widget on http://www.widgetmate.com with your relevant keywords
