> How can you test the limits of these free resources?
> GeoTargeting: Knowing users' locations has never been more

> What are the best methods?
> Privacy Implications: As you are collecting user data, keeping track

> GeoBrowsers: Google Earth and NASA WorldWind are both amazing  
> geobrowsers. How can you get the most out of them?
> Data Management: Geo applications work with massive amounts of data.  
> What are the tools, tips, and tricks that can be used to manage it?
> Protocols and Formats: GeoRSS, GML, KML, EXIF, Microformats, Geo  
> OpenSearch. Which formats are on the way in and which ones are on
