We focus in on two of the presentations at last week’s Location Intelligence Conference. One, by Yahoo’s Frazier Miller, director of product management for Yahoo Local, gave a surprising set of numbers about the potential size of teh local search marketplace. The second, from SiRF’s Kanwar Chadha, Founder and Vice President of Marketing, highlighted how we’ve barely begun to realize the scope of location in mobile devices.
The podcast is 14 minutes long (< 6 Mb) and was recorded on April 20, 2007.

An InformationWeek survey reveals that just 7% of businesses surveyed are using mashups. Is that true for geospatial mashups? Is it true, as Matt Brown, an analyst at Forrester Research suggests, that “Businesses have bigger priorities at the moment than worrying how to mash up logistical data or workforce information into a mapping app?” This week we look at why businesses are slow on the uptake with regard to mashups, and perhaps geospatial and what it might take to get them involved.

“Local search is the second most popular activity other than e-mail.”
Safa Rashtchy, sr. research analyst, Internet media and marketing, managing director for Piper Jaffray in his keynote at the Kelsey Group’s Drilling Down on Local ‘07 event. I can say our readers echo that sentiment: business opportunities of local search is a “hot topic” for upcoming LI Conference.

Today I wanted to get the word out that Kanwar Chadha, Founder of SiRF Technology will be the keynote speaker at our Location Intelligence Conference in April. SiRF, as a leading GPS chip set manufacturer, is found in many mobile devices (MapPoint 2006, Magellan Roadmate, Garmin devices, etc.). Chadha is also not just another "EE." He has a truly visionary approach about bringing location-based technology to the masses. He spells out his vision and the challenges for GPS in a position paper he did a few years ago (PDF download). I had a chance to sit down with him a few weeks ago and his vision extends beyond today’s current class of products.
