Navigating Location

In 2010 Usahidi was used to geolocate, organize and collaborate around 10s of thousands of mobile messages. Mobile is the future of the mapping. In this talk we'll look at how games like Dodgeball, Foursquare, and Kickball left the schoolyard and are now powerful mobile apps that are the beginning of the location revolution. You can use this technology to find your friends, to track your exercise and eating habits, and to save lives. In this talk we'll look at how it works, what is being done with your data, how you can take advantage of it and how you can build for it.
