GeoURL: We Know Where You Live, Work and Blog!

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday January 7, 2003 @09:26PM from the and-other-stuff-too dept.

hrbrmstr writes "GeoURL is a location-to-URL reverse directory. This will allow you to find URLs by their proximity to a given location. Find your neighbor's blog, perhaps, or the web page of the restaurants near you. Many potential 'location-based services' can spring from this if the database gets big enough. The site has an easy process for maintaining your entries. And can even generate RSS feeds for a given geographical area."
