Take aways/downloads </P> <p> Bedo's innovations are coming from a powerful friend and profile matching algorithm implemented on top of a location-aware platform. The idea is to meet people who match your expectations/profile, locate them geographically and communicate with them anonymously (if needed) over IP (Bedo has designed a VoIP gateway over GPRS). Push to talk and broadcast-to-many are key features of the service. Revenue comes from premium features but mostly advertising from POI etc. - Download the presentation "here":/files/bedo%20Mar%2028th%202008%20(MM%20template).pdf </p> <p> Gypsii, a 2008-Navteq Global LBS Challenge Finalist, is positioned as a mobile lifestyle service. Gypsii is coming from a mapping and GPS background. Their focus and expertise is about sharing life experience (hence the UGC component), rather than communicating real-time with people in the vicinity (Bedo), though it is possible too (via sms, IM, or simply phone of course). The geo-tagging component plays an important part, as well as the “search venues and POI” and directions on how to get there. Search is an important component of Gypsii’s offering. - Download the presentation "here":/files/gypsii%20Mobilemonday%20Shanghai%202008_SNS.pdf +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <h1 style="text-align: center;">LBS and Mobile Social Networks</h1> <p> <h3 style="text-align: center">April 21st, from 7pm to 9.30pm at Kathleen's 5 restaurant and bar (325 Nanjing West Road, inside Museum of Modern Art, angle with Huang Pi Road).</h3> </p> <p> <h2 style="text-align: center">LBS 手机定位服务和手机社交网络</h2> </p> <p> <h3 style="text-align: center">MobileMonday上海 2007年4月21日，19：00－22：00 地点：上海赛玛餐饮有限公司，南京西路325号（黄陂北路).</h3> </p> <p> <div> <div style="float:left; margin-right: 5px"> !http://www.mobilemondayshanghai.net/files/mobile_with_a_map.jpg! </div> <div> According to the estimation of Analysys International, revenues from China's LBS market reached RMB 505 million ($71.6 million) in 2007, up 59.7 percent year-on-year.
