Not an easy task in the current LBS landscape. We, at Abaqus provide a Geoweb platform and a geo social application called http://www.mygeodiary.com, an online community for users to record, annotate and share their GPS tracks. Besides being a location-centric online community, it also helps users derive personal intelligence from their diary of GPS tracks.

Although there are many promising newer ventures, I think it bares mentioning some of those currently achieving success in the market… like FindWhere American, Inc.

If you have a moment check out our latest press release announcing Skybitz Satellite Tracking integration of Findwhere Service.

As an other LBS effort I would like to point out SOOSHI (www.socialsooshi.com).

SOOSHI is a LBS Social Networking Service, allowing people :
- to discover people nearby
- to broadcast messages to the community
- to share informations (like facebook, twitter, etc) between them in a public (to everybody) or private (restricted to their friends) way.

Take a look !

Cheers,

Alain

Our company will soon be releasing a simple plug-in for Windows Mobile (Pocket Internet Explorer) that allows you to access location information on a smartphone “without the need to build a mobile app”. JavaScript will now be able to access both cell tower id and gps if the user gives the appropriate permission.

Cheers,

Peter

Besides there are rumours that Google might shut them down.
