You could always add geobloggers :)

New search API and feeds are now up...
http://www.geobloggers.com/services/
http://www.geobloggers.com/feeds/ (yarrr, geoRSS!)

68,000+ geotagged photos at your fingertips, plus a handful of links, 
notes, del.icio.us pages and a couple of audio files. (With a Yahoo 
account you can always add more geotagged links, notes and so on).

In theory you can walk around calling the following URL with your 
current long/lat to keep track of things near you...
http://www.geobloggers.com/services/rest/?method=geobloggers.search.nearest&point=-0.1558,51.5058&per_page=10

Oh and now geobloggers checks del.icio.us for new geotagged links once 
every 5 mins, so it'll start capturing those again, after a short break.

Could be useful to some?

Cheers
Dan
