Blog - A Few Notable moments at Where2.0

Written by Glenn Letham
Friday, 16 May 2008
Just returned from Where2.0 and have some catching up to do and a ton of notes to go over - I had no notebook as she packed it in the day before I left... nice! Regardless, here's a few notable quotes and items of interest that I picked up on during some of the sessions and found to be worthy of sharing.. enjoy! - Government should focus on services - Be nice to civil servant (particularly if you want free data!) - It's of the web not just on the web - we have no idea of the business model - A familiar theme at the event!! - Nokia is building a platform for innovation - The geoWeb is spreading - 8 hours of YouTube video is updated every minute - GPS is the #1 request from consumers - buildings are consuming 71% of our electrical energy - the grade for America's infrastructure = D - Fire Eagle is a bet on the future - ArcGIS Server will have a strong focus on KML - GeoTagging is hard to do - Geonames is getting it wrong - Many web developers just don't get Geo - more than 50,000 map mashups have been developed using the gMaps API these are just a few interestingtidbits from Where2.0 Adrian Holovati at Where2.0 A reminder about another cool event just around the corner... Heads Up! Forum Nokia Code Camp: Location-based Services is scheduled for June 10th inMountain View, California, US - In this LBS session, the Nokia team get you up to speed with the latest enabling technologies for building location-aware mobile applications and services, including positioning technologies, POI management, mapping and navigation and service integration.

Google geosearch api google earth +Arcgis w/ Jack and John on stage The Where20 Where Map was mapping attendees Finally, on Monday night at Campfire One at the Googleplex (http://code.google.com/campfire/), Google Inc. announced a preview release of Google Friend Connect, a service that helps website owners grow traffic by enabling any site on the web to easily provide social features for its visitors. Websites that are not social networks may still want to be social -- and now they can be, easily. With Google Friend Connect (see http://www.google.com/friendconnect), any website owner can add a snippet of code to his or her site and get social features up and running immediately without programming -- Learn more about Google Friend Connect, OpenSocial, and other social initiatives at Google I/O, a two-day developer gathering about building the next generation of web applications. It takes place May 28-29 at Moscone West, San Francisco. Register now for Google I/O at http://code.google.com/events/io/. See also http://code.google.com/campfire/ Posted by Glenn
