A while back I added some Geographic meta tags to the blog in the hopes that they would one day be picked up by the likes of Google and integrated into the Google Maps effort somehow. The whole idea of geo-tagging, that is the act of putting longitude and lattitude indicators in documents published on the net fascinates me.

For those who have an interest in photography and travel geo-tagging can open up a whole new world. Take for example Panoramio. This is a website where you can publish pictures along with lattitude and longitude information. Alongside this it integrates with Google maps giving you the ability to virtually fly around the world while viewing pictures taken by people who’ve actually been there.

To illustrate this here’s a view of what you can expect to see if you’re ever to come to Brussels, Belgium. Incidentally this is also the exact geographic location of where this blog is concieved.
