Podcast: Google Hearts Tele Atlas, Tagging the Real World

Note: Technical difficulties prevented distribution of the podcast on Tuesday. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Last week Google announced it would use only Tele Atlas data for its mapping applications, effectively dropping NAVTEQ, now owned by Nokia. Is there a data war? Or perhaps a browser war? Also: Microsoft reveals its vision for a tagged real world even as a Japanese company shows off its implementation of that vision. Is it time for real world geotagging? Our editors tackle these questions in this week's discussion.
