Location-Based Wireless Social Networking

Your vote:
Level:
Advanced
Type:
Panel
Category:
Mobile / Wireless
Presenter:
Tom Marchioro, Garmin International
Description:
First there were social networks, and then there were location-based social networks, and now GPS and navigation-enhanced mobile social networks. This panel will explore how these emerging platforms integrate with existing social networks (facebook, twitter, etc), leverage GPS navigation functionality, and take location-aware social networking to the next level.

Just the fact that a guy from Garmin wants to do this is reason enough for me. I'm a huge Garmin fan and user. That said, I want to see geo (and other forms of location) being used first to empower the individual, then to get "social." We still have a long way to go with the former. Like, making Garmin products work with Mac and Linux and not just Windows.
