Geomicroblogging, Buzzword or Reality?

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.

Buzzword, q.e.d.

But seriously, I appreciate the majority of /.'ers who seem to champion privacy rights and issues, but whats the point of fighting for these rights if we are just going to turn around and voluntary post descriptions of our activities, locations of these activities, and photographic evidence with it? Sort of flys in the face of that mentality. Not to say that those who support our privacy rights are doing it, but it certainly undermines the fight...

"Mash up". It should have stopped before the words were ever uttered. I would like to know who it was that uttered them. Just an address, that is all I need.
