As a geographer, I enjoyed the article on the importance of knowing the location of a website or person navigating the web, The revenge of geography in the Economist. I've long had the vision of being able to discover information about an area by sending location information (via GPS) to a website that retrieves relevant information based on that location. With geotags embedded in web pages, this becomes possible. There are even applications available that will analyze a site and derive a possible geotag based on the content.
