FindWhere and Geoff Livingston’s Mobile Manifesto
on the go | (1)
Jaap Groot, CEO of FindWhere which makes the Buddyfinder service Livecontacts and Geoff Livingston, author of Now is Gone just released a manifesto entitled Breaking Through: The Local, Mobile and Social Manifesto. They're proposing the steps necessary to win in integrating location-based services into the social web.
Here are their 8 tenants of their strategy for being mobile, local and social:
Provide a base offering free of charge. Today’s social network user does not tolerate paid-for services.
Work on a wide selection of phones.
Offer an intelligent, simple user interface for accessing information.
Use GPS rather than force users to manually enter their location ...
I'm Dave and I like to share news about gadgets, gear, careers and design for a mobile world.
