You’re web browser wants to know where you are…
Those crazy cool kids at Mozilla Labs have just announced the release of their experimental plugin Geode. Using the draft W3C Geolocation standard they plan on enabling your browser to dynamically determine its location to provide cool value-adds like location-switching RSS feeds and emergency restaurant location. For us the ubiquity of geolocation services is a natural progression towards augmented reality but we can’t help finding ourselves a little amused at an application that politely asks permission to know where it is and then offers the user a choice of resolutions (exact, neighborhood, city, nothing) for each page using the service. That sure makes for a transparent experience! Sheesh.
