newb to hacker news here, I've been thinking about an application that would do just this except with more feeds than just Reuters. I built something on Yahoo Pipes that would geocode and map any RSS feed using MetaCarta's RSS tools; I'd share but it no longer seems to funtion...
It would be cool to have users input URL's to news stories for the 'social' posting, but then you get the challenge of geo-parsing, tagging & mapping each story.
