SimpleGeo?s Holiday Treats: QR Codes, Geocoders, And Simple Geo For Any Site

A couple weeks ago, SimpleGeo launched a couple of their APIs,�Context and Places, into public beta and they were told that was probably a good cut off point for new products before the holidays. But they didn't listen. Today they're launching a bunch of things right before holiday break starts for many people. So what did they want to get out the door before the new year? The biggest thing is what's known as JSONP / JavaScript SDK, which is a new feature of their APIs that allows anyone to enable location on any website they control. This is done with two things: GeoIP and the W3C's Geolocation API. The former is a technology used while they wait for more browsers to adopt the latter. Essentially, it looks up your IP address on the fly and geocodes it.
