Ted , Ravi and OSGeo,
If you are using yahoo web-based mail system,
you will see that there is pop-up map frame appears whenever there is a place
names.
whenever there is a time description, it will pop-up a web-based yahoo calendar.
The latter is time-stamps while the former is spatial-stamps which is called
Geotagger, GeoTagging, Geotag etc.
you can tag photos, documents, rss , photos, etc geospatially.
so now we already have 3 terms, geocoder, geolocator, geotagger.
Is someone can clarify their differences or any further like their
implementation and value to us?

Hi All,
reading loation from a text file and locating them on a GIS
can be accomplished by
OpenJUMP
Qgis
or for that matter any Open Source GIS..
But the best is GRASS..
How ever If one wishes that Locations to be picked up from various kinds of
text inputs
(news on internet) and attached to their locations, this will be a nice
Research and development. Some food for thought..
Data mine --> To Isolate locations
--> Attach corresponding Lat Longs to these
--> Input to an Open Source GIS
