Geotagging Blog Posts – Do You Want Your Readers To Know?

February 28, 2008 By

geotagging.jpgThis post over at The Blog Herald got me thinking. It’s about geotagging posts, which means showing people where you are on a map.

Why? Well, sometimes it might be relevant to see where in the world you were when you published a post, especially if you’re doing a travel-focused blog.

However, do you really want people to know where you are? Tabloids in Sweden ran a story on burglars using blogs to find out who was on vacation, and then broke into their houses. While that might happen for sure, I believe this particular story was a way to scare people into buying issues, reading about those scary blog things.

That being said, being at least a bit anonymous is what a lot of people find appealing with blogs.

Would you consider geotagging your blog posts?
