[pLog-svn] Location data for blogs?

Would anybody find it useful to include location data ("location" as
in "geographical") as part of a blog? So that we can provide the
coordinates of our latest picture, article or even the blog?
I couldn't resist the temptation of toying around with the Google
Maps API and I already have working code that does all this :-) It
all works via a pop-up window that loads data from Google Maps and
allows to comfortably select a location, as well as selecting from
one of the previously used ones. This has already been integrated
with resources, blogs and articles (the elements for which location
data makes sense) and there is also a config parameter that allows to
enable/disable this, for those who don't feel comfortable with
revealing so much data.
I was just wondering whether I'm the only one who finds this
exciting :-) We haven't had a new cool feature for a while and I
haven't seen any other blogging software implementing anything
similar yet.
