The "when" is certainly an important factor in the location-based trend and even more prominent of an issue when we look at the mobile movement. Further, perhaps even more relevant than "where" is the "when" because after all, timing is everything. I'm very interested to see what types of apps you develop and how they'll change the location game. .-= Sarah Merion´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/SarahMerion/~3/xhqCN7YIgbo/" rel="nofollow">Advertising As Supplemental Content</a> =-.

I am developing some location-based game apps which offer a different dynamic. I have noticed my Facebook feed is getting spammed with too much of this location superfluous data. This needs to evolve with more control about how/when it may be displayed and how I access such info about others. Just as people were concerned with Twitter posting every meal your friends eat, we don't need to know every stop each of our friends are making. This will only result in being blocked from what otherwise is a useful feed. Sometimes we need to be careful what we ask for. .-= Ed Prentice´s last blog ..<a href="http://blog.televoce.com/?p=87" rel="nofollow">AT&T Phone Home (or Find Your CRM System)</a> =-.

For example, I've just been coerced to sign up to 'Rummble' via a friend and am loving it! It is offering something that no other LBS on the scene has yet in terms of personalisation. I was amazed to see that by just creating one 'Rummble' they figured out what type of places I'd like to go to and gave me easy 1-2-3 directions on my iPhone (not sure about their other mobile integrations, though).. talk about utility in action!

Agree on the benefits of these though. Now its a matter of seeing which one sticks, history shows one will trump the other in terms of usage. Agree on the benefits of these though.
