Location based advertising is going to be huge in '09 and beyond. I wonder who is going to cash in on this. I completely agree. Location based advertising is going to be huge in ‘09 and beyond.

I think it must be pointed out that this isn't providing location based information for web analytics. This location based information can only be provided to applications and not just web content providers, so for example there would be no way for you as a mobile content provider to determine the location of my mobile handset when i browse to your website. The only way location information can be provided is if you have some type of apple game or business application and when i run this application it passes your location to the site....and only when this application is running can it do so, once it's switched off it's done. Trust me, Amethon and all the other mobile web analytics companies would love to provide location based information to our clients, unfortunately with todays mobile o/s platforms this isn't possible. If anyone has an alternative method of providing location based information through a browser session we'd love to talk. Cheers, Dean Collins dean.collins@amethon.com www.Amethon.com Hi Sebastian,
