FriendFeed Supports Geotagging/GeoRSS

First off, for those not yet using FriendFeed, it's a service that allows you to collect all the feeds, blogs, tweets, etc. of your friends in one big feed. You can also collect all of your feeds, blogs, tweets to publish in one feed. It's a service I use, mostly to be involved in the For Immediate Release FriendFeed Room.

Anyway, VentureBeat found that the service rolled out support for geotagged posts and GeoRSS feeds. What that means in that anything collected via FriendFeed that has geo information, now includes a mini Google map of the location. Why might FriendFeed add geo? One founder is Bret Taylor, once Google Maps Product Manager.
