Location, geospatial data, looks set to drive the next phase of the web. What’s been the hold-up so far will be one of the topics at the Focus on Locus symposium Friday at Columbia University.
The conference coincides with the market debut of the GPS-enabled iPhone 3G.
‘Somewhere across the next 1 or 2 years, people may well experience something akin to seeing their first web browser, getting their first mobile phone, or joining their first social network,’ organizer Chris Lo predicts.
‘It is location that will faciliatate the construction, and on-demand easy delivery, of a vast aggregate multimedia and service space consisting of the accumulated experiences and opinion of every user who has ever been to a location before.’
Speakers at Focus on Locus include Eli Noam (Columbia/CITI), Andrew Weinrich (MeetMoi), David Gill (Nielsen Mobile), Ben Ezrick (Ogilvy Interactive), Dan Melinger (Socialight) and Danny Moon (UpNext).
