PublicEarth


location based services

PublicEarth will create a database of relevant and concise, constantly updated content, created and managed by users, for users ? content attached through geographical coordinates to relevant points of interest in the physical world, describing in organized detail the attributes of those points of interest, accessible through a simple intuitive web mapping interface, with the goal of making much of the content available to mobile devices.
This open and ever evolving database ?describing the world around us? in organized, structured detail - will become the de facto standard for the next generation of mapping and mobile geographical specific content, with a very large participating user community, operating in an open source and collaborative Wiki model ? tagging a huge range of searchable and organized content to anything and everything in the physical world.
Access to this database will be licensed to mobile carriers and content providers looking to sell access to location specific rich content on the new generation of location aware mobile devices, (smart phones, GPS?s, Onstar, etc? wanting to provide an additional layer of depth and richness of POI data.) and additional revenue driven by the huge opportunity for geo-specific paid content & advertising.
