Podast: Geo and the Economic Downturn
Whatever you choose to call the current economic situation, it's clearly impacting everything, worldwide in one way or another. This week we look into the crystal ball to think though the impact on the geospatial technology industry. More that one company in the industry has seen its stock not just fall but plummet; some are cutting jobs. But what about those in government positions? What about software vendors? Consultants? What's the prognosis for gadgets and phones? Join us to see if you agree with editors' perspective.

Will News Focussed Mapping App Mapwith.us Make It?
