Google MyLocation, Yahoo ZoneTag: Web2.0 shifts to mWeb
Every once in a while a new shift in paradigms affects our way of living. Particularly when the internet and the mobile phones came around (can't remember how my life was before). Today, a new shift is officially announced from the techco leader, Google, as he's moving ever more steadily into telcos turf. The web (and the 2.0 of it) is going mobile (mWeb)!
The search, ad and internet giant announced a location finder for mobile phones that don't have Global Positioning System (GPS). It's called Google Maps with My Location and, as the name tells us, it's an utility built on top of Google Maps that displays the mobile owner's location on Google Maps, just by pressing the '0' button on the mobile phone. How? Simple: with the aid of a cell tower location database.
