Snow Leopard Services to Geotag iPhoto Images

tmoore In one of the updates to iPhoto 8, Apple added the capability to use Applescript to geotag photos - that is, embed latitude, longitude, altitude, and other geographic information. Adam Burt noticed this update and suggested a simple Applescript to geotag a photo with a specific latitude and longitude (see here).
It's quite simple to go from his script to a simple service in Snow Leopard. But first, why on earth would I want to do that? I'm keen on embedding as much metadata in my photos as possible, including location. However, it can be a pain to set a specific site over and over. An example of this problem is my home. Every photo shot at my house should be geotagged with that location, but making sure all the photos are properly set is difficult.
Now, imagine a service that I can select from a menu (or key combination) that would set the geotag for every selected photo in iPhoto to the coordinates of my house?
