On the panel at a lively mashup* event
This month’s “On location” mashup* event, sponsored by My Neighbourhoods, was a lively and interesting affair. Topics of the evening included location data and Location Based Services (LBS). In addition to sponsoring the event I was asked to sit on the panel along side Rik Temmink (TeleAtlas), Ed Parsons (Google), Ed Freyfogle (Nestoria), John Robinson (SMSCard) and John Abbott (widr).
Around 120 people turned out for what was an excellent evening. Mobile and location-based applications are clearly going to rise in popularity over the coming months while there was a great deal of debate around the subject of personal data, privacy and giving away your location. There’s an excellent write up of the evening at Jay Fresh’s blog.
