About that Geo-challenged guy

If you’re wondering what the motivation behind this website is, look no further.

I research and participate in the evolving web, with a heavy emphasis on location based services (lbs) and social networking. This disturbing fixation most likely stems from my natural inability to navigate and my 15+ years in the IT industry where I have been fortunate enough to run my own consultancy in the early web days. Since then I have met many talented technologists all over the globe and for the past 10 years have been working in roles that allow me to research and translate consumer based online technologies into opportunities for the corporate world.

If you were to ask anyone that knows me, they’re sure to point out some fine examples of when my poor sense of direction has shone through. It seems perfectly logical to me that I’m not alone in this world. There must be others out there who are just as geographically challenged as I and as equally amazed at the endless possibilities of online location based services and social networks.

To those people, I dedicate this website. One day we shall rule!

For the rest of you jokers, just remember, thanks to LBS we now know where you live and how to get there!

p.s. You’ll note a slight bias towards Australian views here. That’s because it’s my homeland (originally from Perth, now living in Sydney). :)

    Howdy - just wanted to say thanks for commenting on my post at RWW! Went hunting for your name (briefly) couldn’t find it - hate that…

    Also, just HAD to drop in to say - I’m Australian too - but - living in Silicon Valley now (2 years - and MISS Australia). Makes me soooo happy to see Aussie’s taking a decent hold of the blogosphere though :) But, this really comes as no surprise; we always were quite ahead of the game ;)

    Hi Lid,

    Thanks for dropping by!

    Another Aussie - great! I’m even happier to see a fellow Aussie publishing on such a popular site as RWW. I like your style & totally agree that we’re ahead of the game in many respects. ;)

    I’d love to make it over to the Valley one day to take in the buzz.
