Geourl: thoughts on Meta

Today while browsing through all kinds of things for Photoblog, I found this one:
Geo URL.

Awful lay-out indeed...
It looks for you for blogs and url that are based near to you, and it is mainly implemented by bloggers.

By this link, you find people that are near to me.

The funny thing is that these links aren't based upon common interest, like other searchengines do, or not by name, but by location.
So maybe you just find people that are living near to you.
By now, I think the tool is not yet developed enough.
I won't be interested in somebody because he is living near me. But once there will be a combination of things, like interest AND place, then we are talking.
Imagine that you have a list of people interested in photography and located near to you... Sounds more appealing, right?

The use of Meta's in to websites, is something I see to develop itself very soon.
Because the web is like one garbage bin, and we have to organize it as good as possible.

More and more sites are using this integration of Meta's, to be able to locate sites in their searchengines.

To all the blogging-companies: I suggest that you integrate many of these tools into your interface. Backoffices that allow to add all these information and automaticly add it to the head.
The same thing to those url-forwardingsystems.
Can't be so difficult to add extra fields, when you are able to add keywords, and titles....
