GeoRSS: Get locations in your RSS

by Vincent on May 10th, 2006

The Geonames “RSS to GeoRSS Converter” reads the entries of an RSS feed and searches the Geonames Database to find a location for the entry text. If a relevant location is found, its latitude and longitude are added to the RSS feed using the GeoRSS encoding (via rss-specifications.com).

It works pretty good, check out this example of the Reuters newsfeed. The lat and long parameters are added to each item, sweet!
