techconsumer.com — It’s easy to spot revolutions or major events in the past. The shrinking of computer parts in the 70s, the PC revolution of the 80s that led to the internet explosion of the 90s, etc. The latest ‘big thing’ has been the socializing of the Internet. We now find sites like Digg, reddit, and Del.icio.us. But here's what needs to be next:

One of the bigger upshots of the semantic web is the possibility of a real, usable "geoweb" in the near future. And while things like geotagging have been around for a while, the ease of use for the average consumer is no where near what it will need to be.

I think some do already? The tagging of images with the longitude and lattitude of where it was taken is called 'geotagging', and I think it's supported by sites like zoomr.I've only heard of it in passing, so some of that info might be wrong :P
