This is the second time I will be writing this. I definitely cant wait for the Firefox 1.5 update in September, I cant take the goddamn crashing. Anyway.
Dont worry, I have heard plenty of rumors that Google will buy Meetro, and plenty more rumors that it wont. But the applications of Google and Meetro could be incredible. What is Meetro. Meetro is a location aware instant messaging service. Its LOCATION AWARE, that means it tells your friends and contacts where you are, and when you are there. We know Google is taking the steps toward location aware services, a few months ago they bought Dodgeball. Dodgeball has a cell phone service that allows you to add your friends and contacts to your phone, and then rings when someone is near you. This is very very cool, but also kind of creepy. You can also add people you don't know to your list, like celebrities. Then you would know where they are all the time. Or even worse. Your out with the guys, and your girlfriend/wife/significant other knows where you and and she wishes you where home with her. Anyway, I wouldn't know what that's like. Back on topic, Google's adsense program could definitely have a future with location aware. Imagine that Joes Pizza pays google for ad space. Now Steve is over at Starbucks chatting with his friends on Googl's location aware messenger. As he is talking, on the side of his screen could appear a sponsored links box, saying something like. "Did you know that Joes Pizza is right across the street, why don't you have a bite or take some home". That's the future of advertising, and that will be brought to you by Google. Not intrusive at all, and definitely accurate to the consumer's needs, and in this case their location. For further Ideas on Google, scroll down and look for my Predictions on Google Bucks.
