Mostly because I’m only about half way through my meandering series of essays to make several points, one of which is that SDIs are crap, and that once there’s enough geospatial information of real value out there then a company will come along and let us search it. Well, reality has caught up with me as I’ve lost any kind of consistency with blog posts.

I was aware of <a href="http://geotips.blogspot.com/2007/02/google-sdi.html" rel="nofollow">Paul</a>, <a href="http://think.random-stuff.org/FrontPage/archive/2007/02/17/googles-kml-search-sdi-or-not" rel="nofollow">Allans</a> and <a href="http://zcologia.com/news/371/searching-googles-geo-web/" rel="nofollow">your</a> own postings on the subjects. Between all of these postings there are about 10 comments, not exactly the iPhone is it, but I guess my real concern is that the more mainstream GIS users are not really aware of this - clearly Directions are doing their bit now which is great to <a href="http://www.directionsmag.com/article.php?article_id=2415" rel="nofollow">see</a>. Lets seen if we can get a meme going.. Hi Sean,

Yes you are right of course…

I was aware of Paul, Allans and your own postings on the subjects.

You don't have to link to me necessarily, but you could link to Paul Ramsey's or Allan Doyle's entries and then the importance of KML search starts to become a bit of a meme. Think in terms of that Web 2.0 video, teaching the machine and all that jazz.
