GeoRSS feeding time

On December 12, 2007, in GIS DATA, by Eric Edmonds

We are trying out a new (to us) type of RSS feed which includes location information. It’s called GeoRSS. RSS stands for “really simple syndication” and is a quick way to get a realtime update or feed on blogs and other websites that have RSS encoding. You’ve probably seen the letters RSS in an orange box when you get to a website/blog. You “subscribe” to a blog through the RSS feed. It isn’t like subscribing to a magazine in the sense that you aren’t paying money. You are just connecting to a realtime link and as changes or updates are made to the site, your RSS feed is updated automatically.

So what is GeoRSS feed then. Well, simply put, it is an RSS feed with geolocation information attached.  It’ll turn up in the RSS feeds for this blog.
