Geo-tag on the move: what to do about it

The Web site ICanStalkU.com provides step-by-step instructions for disabling the photo geotagging function on iPhone, BlackBerry, Android and Palm devices.

A person’s location is also revealed while using services like Foursquare and Gowalla as well as when posting to Twitter from a GPS-enabled mobile device, but the geographical data is not hidden as it is when posting photos.
By downloading free browser plug-ins like the Exif Viewer for Firefox (addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3905/) or Opanda IExif for Internet Explorer (opanda.com/en/iexif/), anyone can pinpoint the location where the photo was taken and create a Google map.

Comment by dayo abinusawa on January 22, 2010 at 6:47pm: Augmented reality does provide enormous unfore-seen opportunities for the modern marketeer but there are still a few issues inherent - e.g: geo-fencing: which limits use of GPS technology via to a pre-defined geographic area - but overall at-least ground breaking progress is being made.
