WordPress' iPhone app ( iTunes link ) just got a nice update and now allows you to geotag your mobile blog posts. WordPress launched official support for geotagging posts through the web interface on WordPress.com blogs last November , though bloggers with self-hosted WordPress installations have long been able to geotag their posts with the help of numerous plugins . While the iPhone app supports both WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress blogs, users with self-hosted blogs won't see any advantage in geotagging their blogs until WordPress releases its own geotagging plugin in a few weeks. Sponsor Geotags are Only Exposed in Your Blog's Feed (For Now) For now, it doesn't look like there is any way to actually highlight a post's location directly in a post or on the blog, though WordPress.com's feeds are compatible with the GeoRSS format and the location attached to a post will appear in compatible services like Friendfeed. It would be nice if WordPress automatically added a link to your location on a map at the bottom of the post or gave you the option to display the location associated with this post in a sidebar widget. Chances are, WordPress will do more with this in this information in the future. It would be nice, for example, if WordPress could highlight "nearby" posts or allowed users to browser post on a map. How To Enable Geotagging in WordPress By default, WordPress won't show your location, even on geotagged posts. To enable geotagging on WordPress.com , you first have to enable it in the WordPress.com settings for your blog. Look for the "Enable Geotagging" setting in the "Your Profile" tab. To geotag your post from the iPhone app, simply click on the compass icon next to your new post's headline. Don't miss the ReadWriteWeb Mobile Summit on May 7th in Mountain View, California! We're at a key point in the history of mobile computing right now - we hope you'll join us, and a group of the most innovative leaders in the mobile industry, to discuss it. Discuss

Early bird registration for the ReadWriteWeb Mobile Summit 2010 is almost over. You only have a few more days to get your tickets for just $295. Click here to get your ticket at this special price. The ReadWriteWeb Mobile Summit will take place May 7, 2010 , in Mountain View, California and will be an exploration of the latest mobile development trends, both the technology and the emerging business applications. Sponsor As with our first event, the Real-Time Web Summit last October, the Mobile Summit will be in the 'unconference' format. We discovered in October that the unconference is a perfect complement to our brand, because it encourages a high quality two-way dialog. Not only that, but the knowledge and ideas that came out of our Real-Time Web Summit were practical and useful - we got a lot of great feedback about that. As with our previous event, the Mobile Summit will be facilitated by Kaliya Hamlin , who in my opinion is the best in the business at this style of event. We're using the same venue too, the beautiful Computer History Museum. Mobile was one of our top five trends last year and continues to undergo explosive growth , so our aim with this event is to help you navigate the opportunities. Get ready to explore, think and create the future of mobile! Because it will be you - the attendees - who ultimately set the agenda. You can begin adding your suggestions now. We will have two main tracks at this Summit, Development and Business . Here's a sample of some of the topics we'll explore in both of these tracks: Geo-location services - what can you do using location as a platform ? Commerce & Marketing - as more and more consumers use smartphones, how can businesses utilize this channel? Content, Publishing & Recommendations - the technologies and best practices. Mobile Social Networking - how to tap into communities on mobile devices. Internet of Things - the emerging opportunities from sensor and RFID data. Augmented Reality - the technology and business applications of AR. Native App vs. Browser Based - Including iPhone, Android, RIM, Palm, Windows Mobile and Symbian. If you're a company in the Mobile Internet market, you may be interested in helping sponsor this event. Please contact our COO Sean Ammirati for more information on the sponsor options. The ReadWriteWeb team is excited about our second event and we can't wait to discuss the opportunities in Mobile with you on May 7. You can find banners and logos to link to our event here , if you're so inclined. We hope to see you on May 7! Discuss
