Scenarios for location based services have been around for years and the value of spatial context is undisputed. Yet, location information is not ubiquitously available. Felix Petersen will introduce Plazes, a rapidly growing new project, taking a grass-root and decentralised approach to location aware services: You are, where you are connected. Taking the fingerprint of the local network as a unique identifier and collaboratively adding metadata to it, the Plazes community is creating a global info-grid of geo-encoded Plazes. Think Geo-Wiki.
The talk will introduce the concept as well as explore ways of integrating geo tags into wikipedia posts with the help of the Plazes API. There will also be some life hacks of how to roll your own geo-enabled applications like geo annotated photos and blog posts.
