Are you more interested in the "plot points" software, or the
"grouping algorithms"? What kind of clustering are you doing?
- Based on points users all tagged and therefore creating clusters of
"you like *this*, so you'll probably like *these*"?
- Location-closeness clustering
- Keyword terms based on generic names the points may have?

There are various algorithm/packages for any of the problems above.
And for creating points it would be easy to either use a current
service (of which there are many) and then apply your algorithms to
that (as Mike was suggesting), or roll your own using pieces of
existing mapping/archiving software packages available.

 Hi andrea,

 you can  record and map points easily with apps like platial.com  by naming
points with any plain language tag of your choice.

 cheers~

For a webapp I'm hoping to build, I want to look at a collection of geo
points, discover clusters of points and assign the clusters useful
geographic names (where "useful" = good web search term). Does anyone know
of freely available code for doing this?
 thanks much,
