Off the Charts with the New York Post
19 June 2006
Our hometown tabloid the New York Post published a story on the ways online mapping tools are changing the way we live in NYC. I’m proud to say they featured a choice quote on Socialight from yours truly, including the following tidbit of wisdom:
“It’s this connection with place that resonates deep down in the human psyche; it’s very empowering.”
Deep, Dan, deep.

Brady Forrest just posted a podcast on O’Reilly Radar with me in which we discuss where some of the ideas for Socialight originated (23centstories shoutout!), as well as what we’re working on now and what you can look forward to in the next version. (MP3)

My favourite bit (apart from their mention of Socialight) - Dan Gilmartin from Sprint debunking the ubiquitous “Starbucks finder” LBS myth.
