Geotagging is part of the "mashup" technology, bringing together geographic tagged data from one source displayed in a web mapping interface such as [htp://maps.google.com Google Maps] or Yahoo Maps
[edit] The 2.0 Factor
- blends data into visual format
- some may be re-used in other web sites
- can be open to user contributions
- drag and zoom interface for maps
