The New Media Monthly blog has featured a case study
on plans to make use of social geo-location sharing services at the forthcoming Institutional Web Management Workshop (IWMW 2010) which will be held at the University of Sheffield over 12-14 July. The blog also includes a longer feature article which asks “Is location-based social networking the next big thing?“. In this article Brian Kelly of UKOLN describes how events can provide an ideal opportunity to evaluate the potential of emerging new technologies such as location-based services.
