The World Semantics and Folksonomy
So I just read an Interesting article on slashdot, "Apple and Google to Blog the World" and found myself thinking about all the information Google is gathering though their free services, about the world. I am intrigued by the possibilities of having intimate information from billions of people all over the world about their favorite locations in the World. Tight integration of GPS devices, popular OSs, and web based repositories could allow travel agencies to promote locations based on information provided by the average joes who visit them. This is only the tip of the ice berg, by tagging and defining locations all over the world we open up a new resource for many AI applications, not to mention the immediate end-user delight of being able to read and post information about locations they keep close to their hearts.

I would love to see technology like this worked into the GPS navigational systems found in some new cars. Passengers could waste time on long car trips reading about the places they are driving through, and possibly adding their own comments.
