[Geowanking] ***Location Linked Information***

[Sonny Parafina]

I haven't read the thesis yet, but I met Matt several years ago. Matt was
one of the founders of Vert (www.vert.net), a startup that delivered
location and time sensitive advertising around the Boston area.  Cool to see
what he is up to.

  MIT Media lab Masters candidate, Matthew Mankin's Masters thesis,
'Location Linked Information ' [pdf]
  describes a very well thought out demonstration of an architecture for
ubiquitious information services based on xml streams within emerging IETF
standard Jabber protocols.  Server cells cover explicit geographic areas,
but users are authenticated at, and all infomation is routed through 'Home'
servers thereby offering some privacy protection. Since the information
distribution model is publish-subscribe, potential spammers can only pollute
their own servers. There's an interesting community filtering capability
too.
