GeoRSS Converter 05/09/2006

The Geonames "RSS to GeoRSS Converter" reads the entries of an RSS feed
and searches the Geonames Database to find a location for the entry text.
If a relevant location is found, its latitude and longitude are added to
the RSS feed using the GeoRSS encoding.

 And if one follows that link:

One ends up at http://www.geonames.org/rss-to-georss-converter.html

which in turn:
