They'll address problems like, how do we crowdsource information from local citizens to aid first resonders? How do we quickly collect and publish fresh aerial imagery of an affected area? How do we create a comprehensive missing persons finder after a disaster?"

    "Since the launch of Google Latitude earlier this year, we've been getting a lot of feature requests. One of the most popular ideas was for Latitude to keep track of location history, allowing you (but not your friends) to see where you've been at any point in time. Another popular idea was to notify you when you're near your Latitude friends so you can easily meet up or grab lunch. Today, we're happy to introduce both Google Location History and Google Location Alerts (beta) to let you do even more with Latitude."

    "New location services: RIM is launching three new location-based services for developers: cell site geolocation, reverse geocoding and travel time. Cell Site Geolocation is very standard today and is commonly used as an alternative to GPS. Reverse Geocoding helps people convert their location coordinates into a specific address for use in BlackBerry applications. And finally, Travel Time allows developers to incorporate estimated travel time within their apps for destinations in the US and Canada. The travel time calculations will be based on distance, speed limits and aggregated traffic conditions. The service returns values for an estimated arrival time, total travel time and total distance that can be used in an application."

    all a heads up regarding the new "Trends API" that we're launching.
    This API will open up trending information that is specific to a
    number of locations around the world.

    At a high level, there will be two new endpoints:

    * an endpoint to give a listing of all locations that trends are
    available for, and
    * an endpoint to actually allow you to query by a specific location. "

    The Trends API will use Yahoo's Where on Earth IDs from yahoo.com/geo/geoplanet which I've written about here before.

    Urban Defender is a location-aware game that takes place in cities and towns. The game and its main interface, the ball, are situated inside the real world. Other location based games often only work with displays or have navigational character. This game is based upon elements that are fundamental to people in urban situations: districts and their habitants. Targeting children and young adults, the goal and main rule of the game is: try to conquer as many quarters as possible, reinforce these quarters and defend them against other players.
