[Geowanking] Geo url tagging service?

[Andrew Turner]

Just use del.icio.us and add

geo:lat=49.1234 geo:lon=-123.1234

or even:

adr:city=PaloAlto adr:region=CA

You can then pull out via the API based on these tags. Not via a
geographic query - but that's not a big deal, just do that sorting
client/consumer side.

there have been numerous "geourl" specific services, in fact Joshua
Schachter made geourl before delicious. The problem with any of these
geo-first/foremost services is they remain niche and limited use. By
just adding geo to a more broadly applicable tool you, and others, are
more likely to use it.

For additional inspiration, see Aaron Cope's Pocketmaps via delicious, delmaps:
