A fun ride through the cyperspace

Going ballistic

I came about a couple of sites and plugins which dealt with geographic coordinates, to draw maps of blogs near your location or add the geographic position of commenters. There is even a special META tag to go into the head-section of a site, which lists its coordinates. The name of the tag is ICBM.
Being born in the late Sixties, the abbreviation ICBM gives a strange ring to my ears. In my “youth”, it stood for Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile – and I guess the definition is still valid. Well, considering this, the word Geotargeting makes sense again…

    As reported by several media, Google Maps discloses the position of military installations, including one of their stealth fighters. Zooming in on Area 51 is not allowed though…
