The ability to generate a surge of interest in your website can be easily applied from the well documented social news site – Digg
Now the site’s appears to be looking into tying this to geographical locations.
Taken from Webware.com post from Caroline McCarthey on one of Digg’s events;
“A few genuinely good ideas came up: one question suggested “geotagging” for stories to group them into local news stories, something that could make the site legitimately compete with sites like Outside.in and city blog networks like Gothamist. “Yes,” [Kevin] Rose said. “We’ve thought about this as well and it would be really cool if we could start to group different events around you.” Adelson added that Digg has “a few projects on the way…think 2009, realistically, for some of this stuff.”
Once more this indicates a move towards embedding geographic data into posts which is likely to have a long lasting effect on press release copy.
