          <description><![CDATA[Hi, I was wondering how you are doing geocoding of the news items, and whether if I personalize mappedup with my own feeds, if the rss feeds from mappedup will then take those feeds and add the geocoded locations.

Thanks, Imran]]></description>

          <title><![CDATA[How to add geodata to your RSS feeds]]></title>
          <description><![CDATA[One of the features of MappedUp.com is the enrichment of RSS feeds with geodata. We use the W3C basic geo namespace for that. Some info about this can be found at: http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/

Simply put, every <item> of our RSS feeds contains 2 extra tags, <geo:lat> ad <geo:long>, for its geocoordinates. The city of London, for example, has these data: 

  <geo:lat>51.5</geo:lat>
  <geo:long>-0.116667</geo:long>

Next to the <item> tags, geolocations can also be inserted inside the <channel> tag, to point out the origin of the RSS feed in question. The default MappedUp feed has both: www.mappedup.com/rss/]]></description>
