The first thing people are doing with GeoUrls is mapping blogs -- a standard way of doing what nycblogger does -- so you can see which bloggers are in a city or a neighborhood.
Other nifty applications would turn this around and create blog entries for a place -- a spot on a hiking trail or a restaurant.
This seems like an open version of the HP CoolTown scheme to give urls to places. But simpler and better. Just a layer of location ID -- not tied to hardware platform and device interaction model.
Lots of LazyWeb fodder.
