Mobile Monday - November 17th - Location-Based Services & Social Networks

By James

Hi all,

This month’s Mobile Monday Dublin is next Monday, 17th November. Our topic is “Location-Based Services & Mobile Social Networks“.

This is something that Irish companies seem to do particularly well. Personally I think it has something to do with the amount of time we all spend stuck in Dublin traffic.

Anyway, we start at 6:30 for 7:00pm, and this time we’re upstairs at The Odeon, Harcourt Street. Our esteemed speakers are as follows:

Locle - Ronan Higgins & Pieter Oonk

We kick off with two of Dublin’s own mobile & location based social networking experts. They’ll be discussing LBS in general, and their own implementation, ”as featured in the Sunday Times”.

JustRoutes - Dave Rooney
http://justroutes.com
Dave will discuss the company’s online & mobile travel planner for Dublin. Definitely born out of too many traffic jams.

RateMyArea - Mike Brennan
http://ratemyarea.com
Describing and demonstrating a cool new service that lets you review, share and discuss local businesses whilst mobile.

Wubud - Ewan Spence

Our grand finale from Paul Walsh’s still-stealth mobile social networking startup - not to mention the inimitable Mr Spence.

Folks, with this line up, this is set to be an fantastic evening, and I welcome you all to hear these local luminaries

As ever, Mobile Monday Dublin is totally free - your only obligation is to let us know you’re coming, so that we can plan refreshment accordingly. Do so by mailing us at nov08@momodub.com or by leaving a comment on the blog below.

This is likely to be our final event of 2008, and let’s go out with a bang! Spread the word, bring a friend or two, and we’ll see you all next week.

James
