Location Based Content


I’ve taken a “time out” to do a little experimentation with Location Based Content.

Location Based content is mobile content on a single page of stuff near you actual location.  Imagine walking down the street, you take out you smartphone and open an app or web page that has content built by stuff around you.  This could be Library information, restaurants, nightclubs, clothes shops etc.  The more content in a single location, the more focused the content is to your location.

If you’re visiting a new town, and want to find out what’s near your hotel, just open up your smartphone or laptop and choose your pleasure.

So over the next week, I’m going to build this and see where it takes me, no advertising, no charges just a quick app to play with.  And C# MVC2 seems a good place to start with a bit of LINQ.
