Geomicroblogging, Buzzword or Reality?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the or-maybe-a-little-of-both dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The iPhone 3G and Android devices are coming this year, opening the mobile world for rich applications, while sites like Fire Eagle and byNotes are ready to move your blogging habits into the geospatial world. Are we going to watch the next boom when those devices and geospatially enabled sites get combined? Sure, the posibilities this would open are endless, but are users going to embrace these services?" I don't see how it can't change the world ... it has 'Micro' and 'Blog' in the name, and I'll always know where I was when I twittered to tell everyone I was in the john.

    If anyone ever uses the word 'Geomicroblogging' with me in conversation I might just break several of their bones. When will the madness stop?

    Nobody gives a rats ass about where you are when you tell the world what you are doing...Unless it's hilariously unintentional.

    I will have to agree with this. I could broadcast my life online too, but whats the point? No one in their right mind would give a flying shit what I waste all of my time on.
