Although the general model of blogging is to post chronologically, there’s been a growing trend toward location-based posting. Current events, news, reviews and all kinds of other information can be made even more useful by adding a location context. Rather than simply knowing when something happened, readers can also quickly see where it happened. But the problem is that adding location data to your blog is often quite difficult to set up, which is where Hirst’s tools come in handy. Say, for instance, you want post something about news in your neighborhood, just head into Google Maps, zoom in on your area and drop in a new marker. That will pop up a bubble with space to enter a title and description — just post your blog entry in the description field and you’re done. Hirst has essentially turned Google Maps into a geographical blogging interface. As he writes on his blog, “each marker on the map corresponds to a separate post, or feed item.” The trick is passing the “View in Google Earth” link from your map to the pipe which will then create a valid geoRSS feed.

Joanna GearyTaking advantage of Google’s MyMaps feature, which allows you to create and customize your own maps, Hirst has created a Yahoo Pipe that can parse the output of your map and turn it into a geo-aware RSS feed.
