Geo technologies are changing the way millions manage their businesses
and live their lives. Rapid advances in geolocation technologies – and
what individuals and companies have built on those technologies –
present new marketplaces for businesses and services, and not just the
expected mapping and location services.
Geo functionality is everywhere, and more geo data is being created
and freely disseminated than ever before. This emerging technology
space, growing in tandem with Web 2.0, has been called Where 2.0. In
this report, Andrew Turner and Brady Forrest map out the new generation
of geo products and services, identify the major players, and show how
your business can leverage the power of Where 2.0.
"... people are looking through their cloud of
information to discover what is pertinent to them where they are and
when they’re there—a trend we call Where 2.0."
