Last year I talked about how people sucked at naming places. This year I am going to talk about how stupid we can seem. And the fact that we brag about it with geo metadata to boot. All my examples are from Needium, our platfrom that matches needs expressed to a location and to businesses that can answer them.

1. Every day, 5 people lock themselves
out in London
(and tweet about it)

2. 10 geosocial
patterns and
illustrations of
the human nature

3. Lorem ipsum dolor adiscum
Finally, someone who
cares that you are
tweeting what you had
for lunch! No really.
(and where, too)

4. It all started when
@sebprovencher told me
he saw Twitter as this
realtime stream of needs.
Could we parse it?

6. I had a few doubts
(to say the least)
Could we really @reply people
“asking the universe” and make
money while doing it?

7. Things not to mess up
(important)

•Be nice, no HARD sell. Help.

8. Things not to mess up
(important)
•It’s a conversation thread.

surprise!

10. Things we discovered
surprise!
