Location is the new black, but why do mobile apps need to have all the fun? Increasingly, location is getting baked into regular web pages as well. Today, Fwix is taking its hyperlocal places database and exposing it to web sites in a novel way. "Our goal is to index the Web by location," says Fwix CEO Darian Shirazi. With one line of Javascript through its new GeoTagger API, partner sites will be able to geotag their web pages. What that means is that Fwix will index the site and extract any places it finds. �The first partner to roll this out will be NBC's local sites such as�NBC New York�and�NBC Bay Area. �A Geotagger button on the page, which could be labeled "Places on this page," will then create a places widget when someone clicks and hovers over it. �It will show the names, addresses, and each place on a map.
