The geotagging of pictures and even video is going to make way for new companies as well as other big players like google take a look at this technology. Google street view for example where people send video/pictures of street could in theory be updated in real time with new pictures from all over the world. Tag the photos with a description and now flickr might jump on the band wagon. If phones have GPS and cameras i think the software should be made optional or even downloadable from the net to track the pictures coordinates letting people upload them to the net. I can see this catching on people don't always tag their photos, write good descriptions or titles so if you could run a search for say new york city and instead of getting pictures with new york city some place in the name/description and get them based on coordinates you'll be getting better results. It's what google wants for their results to give people the most relevant information and I can see them being interested in this type of application. I'm watching a couple of companies now and following along, my stock trading programs are ready to buy as soon as any company makes a big announcement.
