    Take a look at the concepts of GeoWiki. Several examples of collaborative mapping include OpenStreatMap, FortiusOne, or even mash ups with Google Map (you can make your own KML service and background it with Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, etc… maps)

    Is there a service available that geotags blog posts while on the go and is able to post to map with others?
    The first piece is geotagging each blog post on some sort of map.

    The second piece is meshing those points on a map with other people. Essentially we’d like several members of our team to provide updates regularly and post their locations to the same map.

    How often will Facebook check for a new LiveJournal blog post to import to my notes?
    I wrote a new LiveJournal blog post about 20 minutes ago, and have Facebook set up to import my blog posts. It’s already imported all my old ones; how long does it take for Facebook to check for new blog posts, and to import them to my Facebook notes?
