IBM Develops Location-based Service Finder

IBM India Research has put together technology that allows mobile users to find both fixed and mobile providers of services. IDG explains that the idea is to combine both relative location (is the plumber already in the neighborhood?) with other rating factors (reputation, feedback from other users of the services, etc.) to provide a list with the most desireable provider at the top of the list.

It’s not all that novel, but its interesting IBM is researching it.
