Your site is giving me database errors at the moment so I cant check it out.
Personally I havent seen much other than google/yahoo/microsoft maps stuff, but I struggle to keep up with all the sites out there. Some individuals use geo data in their own personal ways but I havent seen many sites make good use of such things in their systems. I certainly believe there are huge possibilities for using geographical data in many interesting ways, but quite which things will catch on is hard to tell, this stuff needs to be built into a lot more tools & services, and really compelling reasons for using it need to be discovered. I want to see all the vlogs since I last logged on, in time & space. But this is probably closer to google maps stuff than what you are doing, so i wont waffle further about that now. As for contexts in the broader sense, I guess most sites I see just group stuff together by fixed category, or by tags, so the context is centred around keywords of one sort or another. Other than tagging, there hasnt been a whole bunch of progress on metadata in the last year or 2. Certainly users mostly want to enter as little data manually as possible so anything that can supply geo data or other metadata automatically is a large bonus.
