Related to this, does anyone know how to go about geocoding place names.
I can't really see how you would take a place from the news and plot it.
i.e. mapping the news.
I have played with the Google API so I know what it's all about it's
just the reverse plotting that interests me with relation to the
Backstage project. (I know some of you did it before the API was released).
Thanks
Simon

But has everyone seen this flickr / google earth mix? Appols if it has
done the rounds...

And a slightly unrelated note, and a tad off topic.... could anyone
shed any light on how easy this would be to achieve...
In Our Time - Melvyn's weekly newsletter.
He tends to dictate it whilst walking around London - cue much
merriment about getting rained on, etc. How easy would it be to strip
out location / placename data from the emails, and map 'Where's
Melvyn?' on to google maps? Possibly with a link to download/listen
again to the episode he talks about?
A very silly idea, I know, but quite cute... I'm interested in ideas
that spatially locate programming and content. You could imagine being
stood on waterloo bridge and your mobile suddenly going off,
delivering you that week's podcast...
