Analyst reviews of the year to come

It is assuring to see the market awareness which seems to be building around the areas of Location Based Services or as they are now refered to Location Aware Services. The Gartner Group released their annual Emerging Technology report several months ago (report link) in which it discusses several items which I see as being key in this new era of intelligent content creation and consumption. These include:

  • The use of technologies like AJAX, Flash, Flex in building Rich Internet Application
  • The applications created from these technologies allow Social Networked Communities to further create innovative content pools
  • These content pools can then be utilised by Location Aware Applications
  • These applications used Location Aware Technologies like GPS to sense important information to trigger content
Take a look at the article, it sets out very well tools and services which are coming into their own in the coming 12 to 24 months.
