"The Ubimark Iphone App is a free iPhone/iTouch/iPad location aware client that connects Wordpress posts to specific locations. It enables your phone to pick up information about your current location and its surroundings that you or other people have blogged about. It works with any WordPress blog using the GeoMashup and Ubimark plugins."

"Ubimark is an information environment created by Dr. Sorin Adam Matei and his students at Purdue University, in which information fixated in or on physical objects is connected to digital and Internet resources. The environment employs a number of digital codes called ubilinks, which are encoded using a variety of conventions (bar or 2d code) to store information on or in physical objects (primarily print materials, but extensible to any physical objects, from household appliances to historical monuments)."
