GCN describes via an interesting article how "the competition to provide geospatial data via the Web has become a full-scale arms race". This enforces the idea that the future of Web 2.0 is location awareness.

Slashdot discuss a TechConsumer entry claiming, to no surprise to geospatial professionals, that the future of Web 2.0 is location awareness. From the entry: "Mobile devices have begun to allow us to take this information with us, but we are still stuck in an old paradigm. If I am standing in the Madrid, Spain train station, there is a good chance I want to ride a train somewhere. But when I connect to the Internet on my mobile device, I’m stuck finding information the old way: through keywords. Somewhere out there is information that would help me, but all I have our my not-as-useful keywords.
The next big thing is to organize, tag, and link information to a specific location."
And to my surprise, enough people said they'll contribute as Slashgeo editors to make it worth trying a second beginning. Great! We'll spend the next few days (or more) to organize ourselves as a new team. Anybody with passion and some time is welcomed.
