Hello World! There’s a new data point emerging in social media that promises to change the way that web meets world. Location.lmf 150x150 Location Changes Everything

Services like Gowalla, Foursquare, Loopt, Google Latitude, Yelp, BrightKite, Flook, Stalqer, MyTown, Rummble, and many more are racing to integrate location to provide deeper, richer, and more social services than what were possible before.

“Simply put, location changes everything. This one input—our coordinates—has the potential to change all the outputs. Where we shop, who we talk to, what we read, what we search for, where we go—they all change once we merge location and the Web.”

- Mathew Honan, Wired Magazine
