Location-based social networking will take off

• Not thanks to Foursquare and Gowalla!

• Not even thanks to Google Latitude.

• Despite a sure backlash against impact on privacy

• But thanks to existing, mainstream networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Viadeo, Mobiluck, Gypsii, etc.

• They have more users, users' (relative) trust

• Location is a add-on, not the core value proposition of a social network

Conclusion

Location is becoming mainstream

• You will increasingly need to understand location to understand mobile & vice-versa

• Innovation will come from new hardware, software, services and business models:

- Mix the ingredients to obtain a good recipe

- Start & finish with the end-user's problem

• This is a global business, with 4 leaders (Nokia, Google, Apple and Microsoft) building vertically integrated "silos"

• However, there is a plenty of room for entrepreneurs bringing new propositions
