Geotag apps are coming out of development at a frenzied pace these
days as developers rush to use new technology in one way or another. Not
long ago, we tested HipGeo, which takes tagged photos, as well as pin
drops we make on the road, to block in a storyline of our adventures.
Now Tagwhat, the app that hopes to be the mobile tour guide for the
world, has upped its game, automatically dragging in digital content
from the web.
Simply engaging the app at any given location
pulls relevant wiki information about attractions and features of the
area where users happen to be. The idea sounds relatively simple but the
technology used to make it happen is rather complex. Testing the
Tagwhat app, I brought up historic locations that I had never heard of
before, along with in-depth information within a few miles of my home in
Orlando. First thought: this is a great app for a quick weekend road
trip.
But looking deeper into the Tagwhat application,
developers have created two tools that enable their advanced geotagging
functionality.Welcome to the Perth china kung fu school.
Like a Pinterest button for location, the "Tag it" button is a Web
browser "bookmarklet" that allows users to quickly select content on any
Web page in a single click and direct it to any spot on a map.
The
Tagwhat Publishing Dashboard lets users upload their own digital
content to real-world places and manage what they have created. Content
uploaded with the new publishing tools is added to Tagwhat's database of
more than 800,How to do china shaolin kung fu Level 2 ?china shaolin kung fu000 tags, or multimedia stories, globally.
"The
web has billions of pages of Web content. But the problem was that
there was no way to deliver the content to real-world settings, where
the information would be most meaningful,A car parking system
is a mechanical device that multiplies parking capacity inside a
parking lot." Dave Elchoness, founder and CEO of Tagwhat told Gadling.
"Rather than typing in a search and hoping for the best, location-aware
mobile devices now give us new way to search for and discover web
content based on a user's location and their interests."
Indeed,
the app has different "channels" to select, bringing a customized array
of information, based on the users location. Users can choose from
Wikipedia, Movies, Sports,We accept foreigners from around the world to
study china kung fu
under Shaolin Masters! Nature, Science and Tech, Offbeat, Events, Art,
Heritage, Architecture, Food, Music and/or Books. Right now, I have all
channels turned on but get only Wiki info.A new residential study kung fu in china
in china school equipped to international standards . Later, as more
users join and tag their information, Tagwhat promises to bring me
deeper content, like being on a tour with a local who knows all the
great spots.
For example, say someone from Gadling tagged all the
posts here. Gadling bloggers travel around the world to bring content
about a variety of places, people and events. If I were in London with
the Tagwhat app engaged, the content presented would include Gadling
blogger Sean McLachlin's post "Roman Cavalry Helmet To Be Star
Attraction At Royal Academy Exhibition" and Jessica Festa's "10 Stunning
And Iconic Shots Of London" if I had selected the channels in Tagwhat
where those posts appeared.
Say I did not care anything about
those topics; with only "Sports" selected, I would see "Facts By The
Numbers For The 2012 Olympic Games In London" and any sports related
posts that had something to do with the London area.
On the
move, the content changes to correspond with the user's location too. I
checked the content within a few miles of my home in Orlando then went
for a drive. Arriving at the first location that I found interesting, a
historic monument from the civil war, I checked again and a new list of
attractions appeared, geared for where I was at that time.
Without
sourcing any other content from the web other than wiki information,
this app is a must-have for traveling to an unfamiliar destination.
Tagwhat also adds value to a short trip in your own backyard.
This
latest release of Tagwhat also has a push notifications feature that
proactively notifies users about interesting stories nearby, even when
the app is not open on their smartphone.
