Media hosted the 6th Location Intelligence Conference in Westminster,
Colorado last week. Key takeaways include thoughts on cloud computing,
crowdsourcing, deal-making, hosted local government GIS and more.
Many readers chimed in (anonymous contributions are not included here) on Google-related coverage this week. A sample follows. Google's Michael Jones on Crowdsourcing Readers' opinions varied on Google's move. " ...'NSDI efforts reflect this situation.' Now that's spoken with truly diplomatic ambiguity." - Kirk Kuykendall, Ambergis " ... So...do we thank Google for this step – or fear them? I guess the answer to that is waiting out there somewhere in the future, when we begin to have access to a new, comprehensive, potentially 'global' geo data resource – and see just how Google chooses to exercise that 'control'... " - Roger Longhorn, GEO:connexion International magazine "... Google is doing a great service by truly making SDI for the public. I look forward with great interest to the unveiling of 'work in progress'." - Arup Dasgupta, GIS Development Video: Google Maps and Parcel Geocoding A reader worried about Big Brother. "... I decided to report a problem to Google to see what happened. I included my name and title, but not my email address (an oversight on my part). In about half an hour I got a reply from Google on my gmail account. ..." - Larry Stout, Hamilton County Indiana "...I'm going to bet you were signed into Google when you reported the problem. ..." - Adena Schutzberg, Directions Magazine Letter from the Low Lands: The end of geo-innovation in the Netherlands One reader offered his thoughts. "I think RGI's influence on the Dutch geo-marketplace is highly overrated and nothing more then a 'dinosaur from the past'..." - Milo van der Linden, OpenGeoGroep |
