With advent of moblogging, people will soon be able to associate notes, images, and audio with specific locations.  One key problem is the difficulty of assigning attributes to those ad-hoc location-bound data.  If I am at location (x,y,z), I can associate (type=restaurant, name="Isobune Sushi") to the location, but unless that information is shared by others, its ends up being just a note to myself. What should happen is whenever someone adds information to the location (i.e. taking a picture), shared location attributes bound to the location should tag-along.  This means that if I take a family picture at a popular Grand Canyon vistapoint, I won't have to fumble with phonepad to annotate it because the common location name "Grand Canyon" will already be there. UI for browsing and navigating location bound information space will be a challenge though.  One needs to be able to 'browse' to nearest restroom information with just a few button clicks.
