GeoURL returns

GeoURL was a pretty cool web service. You embedded your latitude and longitude information into your web site or blog's metatags, registered with their server, and then you could run a search to locate all the sites in their database that were geographically close to you.

Unfortunately, the GeoURL server has been down since sometime last fall.

Well, the GeoURL service is back. In fact, not only is it back, it now looks like there may be two competing GeoURL services!

The site at geourl.org (the old URL) is still showing as "going live Real Soon Now," but geourl.info is up and running. The sites appear to be entirely separate efforts.

I registered tonight with geourl.info, and now I can, for instance, find all sites near the enrevanche blog.

Nifty, no?
