FriendFeed Integrates Google Maps. Useful?

  • Geotagging support has come to FriendFeed.
  • A Google Maps thumbnail is now added to any post encoded with location info, such as those made from services like location-based social app Brightkite and GeoRSS.
  • If the locale info is there, the Gmaps thumbnail is generated and posted automatically.
  • Terribly boring example geotagged post here.
  • This is cool, but is potentially like, totally TMI (too much information). So you make a blog entry — do I need to know exactly from where you’re making it? Only if its relevant to the post. Otherwise it just clutters up my Friendfeed interface which is already busy as hell.
