MH pal Helen Keegan is quoted in today’s Times, in a story about location-based services. Be sure to check it out:
Web developers now face the challenge of connecting people with the information they need, and to make sure they can get it when they need it. One emerging group of technologies, location-based services, attempts to do just that by tailoring your experience of the internet according to where you are. It’s a lot more inspiring than its rather clunky name suggests. The idea is that instead of you looking for the information you need, it looks for you.
“Lots of people are working out ways of using Bluetooth or social networking or GPS to do these things,” saysHelen Keegan, managing director of Beepmarketing and a mobile marketing blogger (http://www.technokitten.blogspot.com). “People are already working out some cool and exciting services.”
The article is a great introduction to LBS technology, and some of the more interesting applications out there.
I’ll also check out Helen’s blog.
