abstract:The Geospatial Web (pronunciation: 'gēō-spãy-shee-ăl wěb') or Geoweb is a relatively new term that implies the merging of geographical (location-based) information with the abstract information that currently dominates the Internet. This would create an environment where one could search for things based on location instead of by keyword only – e.
Clever Wherever is a web app that geo-locates someone and warns them about dangers nearby using Department of Transport accident data, police crime data and Google places general data.
Mobile device services like geo-location allow marketers to capture not only Web history but current location to further segment audiences in ways that were never before imaginable.
