SOCIAL NETWORKING MEETS LBS
Mobile location-based social networking is becoming one of the key driver for the growth of location-based services as it provides a platform for developing applications such as friend finders, local search and geo-tagging. It is allowing users to share real-life experiences through geo-tagged user-generated content, locate their friends are and then find places to meet up with them, and receive targeted advertising based on where they are. This convergence of Social Networking and LBS will drive the uptake of Location Based Services and provide various opportunities for location-based marketing and advertising. This panel discussion will explore trends, drivers, and the overall location-based social networking ecosystem. We will especially focus on existing and potential new business models.
