One of the big trends on the web is more and more location aware / sensitive web applications. Increasingly powerful mobile devices are enabling this. In the latest episode of RWW Live, today at 3.30pm PST, we’ll talk about how the Web is evolving to include more location aware applications and what barriers are still in the way. We’ll also talk about privacy and other user concerns and what is being done to address them. We have special guests from Yahoo! Fire Eagle, Four Square and Outside.in on the show today.
At SXSW this year it became very real for many people. Indeed Four Square, one of our guests today, developed one of the most talked about applications at the event. We hope you tune in to the show LIVE at 3.30pm PST Monday (6.30pm EST) on Calliflower or Facebook. You can also ask questions during the podcast, using the chat function.
As usual, RWW Live will be hosted by Sean Ammirati. Our guests are:
- Dennis Crowley from the previously mentioned Four Square (iTunes link). Check out ReadWriteWeb’s review of Four Square. Before that, Dennis was co-founder of Dodgeball, which was acquired by Google.
- Tom Coates, from Yahoo! (creator of Fire Eagle). See ReadWriteWeb’s coverage of Fire Eagle’s go-live.
- Mark Josephson CEO at Outside.in. See ReadWriteWeb’s coverage of Outside.in.
We welcome your suggestions for discussion points, either in the comments here or by tuning in LIVE to the show – via Calliflower or Facebook – and participating in the chat room.
