At the same time there is real power in the mass of data that is being unleashed for public consumption.”[...] http://www.alex-singleton.com/?p=92 [...] Having completed a similar review recently, I was interested to read another contribution plotting the rapid evolution of the geospatial web.(http://www.receiver.vodafone.com/creating-maps-for-everyone)

The article examine how these technologies allow to understand spatial and social phenomena. Starting by a quick overview of the field and how it shifted from cartographers and geo-scientists to hackers and programmers, Gorman describes the different possibilities enabled by such technologies: from mash-up to mobile application (unfortunately using again the sad restaurant-rating example).[...] http://liftlab.com/think/nova/2008/10/22/vodafones-receiver-on-spacegeoweb/ [...] In the last issue of Vodafone’s receiver, which is about “space”, there is an interesting overview of the geospatial web (aka GeoWeb) by Sean Gorman.

But having read this interesting piece I still have doubts if the geoweb really changes our relation to the real world. Coupling location with data might sharpen our views or let us discover things we did not see before. But still – the time I spend on the geoweb keeps me from strolling through and taking in the world itself. That mapping can help us solve some of our problems is a neat idea.
