- Comment it actually would appear this is a new technology, not just a neologism. See the following news items: 1.) Sprint unveils location-based ‘geobrowsing’ on eve of WiMax launch (Yes, that's a blog post, but it is from a highly respected computer tech site, ZDNet), 2.) Sprint Assembles broad range of partners to deliver “geobrowsing”, 3.) In the Wireless World, 3 Things Matter: Location, Location, Location, 4.) Leading Location-Based Service Providers Turn to Eventful for Comprehensive Local Event Content. Now, it could well be that these are all articles stemming from a single press release, perhaps by Sprint, but it does bear further scrutiny, and if kept, the article would most certainly need to be re-written.

- Keep -- The thousands of blogs and what not in G make the good stuff hard to find . GScholar [1] shows 29 items, including several peer reviewed papers and a number of good conference proceedings. . --The product giving rise to most of the ghits in plain G is actually XOHM, see [2]. it appears to be on the point of being introduced [3] - Probably an article for XOHM would be appropriate. Very oddly, nobody seems to have tried yet, but there are several hundred thousand ghits [4] in addition to their own site. and 255 GN items [5] not all of them press releases.
