Drop.io Adds Location

Drop.io is an application that lets users host text, pictures, audio, etc. for sharing on the Web in "Drops." Until now, those drops were named. Now they can be location-based using Drop.io Location. Details on use here.

One can set up and leave "material" in a drop associated with a location on a Google Map. It ties into Loki to use your current location, if you like. You can use the interface to search for or create drops. Once a drop exists you can "subscribe" to is via Twitter, e-mail etc. and receive alerts when its updated. Drops are Web and mobile friendly.

The review at Ars Technica suggests uses like LBS games, LBS advertising etc. I can't see an immediate use for it, but welcome another app to the world of geo.
