I've been following the development of GeoRSS with interest, however I
wonder how its take up has been.
Specifically I can't seem to find what RSS clients currently understand it
(and make meaningful use of it), either as a listing (on a Wiki?) or listed
as supported on the clients features list. (so findable by a Generic Search
Engine)
I do know of a few, like Mikel Maron's WorldKit and various converters for
Google/Yahoo Maps (API), and even WorldWind. However most are not really
generic RSS clients, been rather specialist to make use of. Also surprised
that can't seem to find a transform for conversion to KML for Google Earth.
Anyway I ask because I've just added (simple) GeoRSS output to
www.geograph.org.uk searches (actually in combination with PhotoRSS, as its
a image archive site ;), and looking to promote its use, but not sure where
to point users at to try it out, if it in fact works as it should (the feeds
validate, and can read them with my own scripts). Or are there any users on
this list who can think of a nice use/demo for the feeds.
If there isnt such a list should one be created on the GeoRSS wiki:
http://www.eogeo.org/Projects/georsswiki/FrontPage listing producers and
consumers?
Thanks
