I found Chris Corrigan’s blog, where I also found out about Blogchalking. The concept is much like GeoURL, but uses Google to do the heavy lifting. Ideally, putting in descriptive info about location/geography will allow regular Google searches to be able to find people that are online, near you.

My chalk is down at the bottom of the right-hand column, below the GeoURL link.

Next step: put up a drupal install somewhere so that Bowen Island folks can blog.
