### Geoblogging

Geoblogging attaches specific geographic location information to [blog](/wiki/Blog "Blog") entries via *geotags*. Searching a list of blogs and pictures tagged using geotag technology allows users to select areas of specific interest to them on interactive maps.

The progression of [GPS](/wiki/GPS "GPS") technology, along with the development of various online applications, has fueled the popularity of such tagged blogging,  and the combination of [GPS phones](/wiki/GPS_phone "GPS phone") and [GSM localization](/wiki/GSM_localization "GSM localization"), has led to the [moblogging](/wiki/Moblog "Moblog"), where blog posts are tagged with exact position of the user. [Real\-time geotagging](/wiki/Real-time_geotagging "Real-time geotagging") relays automatically geotagged media such as photos or video to be published and shared immediately.

For better integration and readability of geotags into blog texts, the [meetag](/wiki/Meetag "Meetag") syntax has been proposed, which transforms any word, sentence, or precise geolocalization coordinates prefixed with an underscore into a 'meetag'. It not only lets one express a precise location but also takes in account dynamically changing geolocations.
