Luke Razzell and I ran this as a guided discussion at the British Computer Society on 5th March 2009. Then I tried to run through it in 6 minutes at Mashup* Events Being Location Aware on 19th March 2009

Editor's Notes
- The thinking behind this talk started when I read a report by ABI Research predicting LBMSN would be a $3.2m market by 2013. Notwithstanding my doubts about the accuracy of the prediction, I was stunned at the potential that they saw and I wanted to find a bit of that opportunity.
