The 'retail push' model is often touted, but as Andrew points out is has many drawbacks - notably that 98% of shoppers know where they are and what they are looking for. I ask myself - what is it that I'd like to know, but do not, when I'm out and about? It's people. In this street, in this town, where are the people I know? Location services allow us to link up the space-free world of Facebook with the here and now of me on the street. Who is there in my want to meet list that's somewhere close?
