Ping-o-matic Geolocation
Ping-o-Matic offers Geolocation Support via A2B Location Services. This seems to replace the old GeoURL service, which I was wondering why it had disappeared off the face of the planet.
Essentially, it is a repository of websites/blogs based on geographical location. What seems useful is if the A2B service can also verify/grab information from websites that offer the geolocation in their website header ala:
There currently is no map or anything, just a listing of the ‘nearest’ sites and their links. Also, no description of the site. What about adding tags/genres or integrating this with del.icio.us?
I’ll see about adding this as a service in GeolocationMenulet (i.e. “Websites near this location”) as well as see if there is an RSS feed that can be used in the SpyTrack Geo-Aggregator.

Hi,
I saw your blog entry on A2B (even though it was a couple of months ago now), and I thought you might be interested in the following features:
1. Search by lat/long in URL
e.g. http://www.a2b.cc/search-latlong.a2b?lat=41.159508&long=-112.035633
2. DIY “Search A2B” mapping feature (in some kind of testing at the moment)

We also do RSS feeds now (although we’re having some problems with character sets given the huge range of international characters in the A2B database).
Drop me a mail if you need to know more, look at http://www.a2b.cc or post a message on the forums at http://forum.a2b.cc.
Thanks,
Sam
