I'm pretty impressed with the new Geotag Icon Project. The well-known feed icon has become ubiquitous, and it makes sense to have a free-to-use icon for geographically-tagged information. I can see it being very useful for hcard and geo microformats, for example. tags: geotagicon geo microformats Relayed for your review without comment For all those who think Open Content guidebooks like Wikitravel are by definition less reliable than proprietary ones: "Travel writer tells newspaper he plagiarized, dealt drugs". "A Lonely Planet author says he plagiarized or made up portions of the popular travel guidebooks and dealt drugs to supplement poor pay. [...] He didn't travel to Colombia to write the guidebook on the country because 'they didn't pay me enough. I wrote the book in San Francisco. I got the information from a chick I was dating.'" Cough, cough. tags: lonelyplanet travel guidebook plagiarism
