AnnotatedEarth.com provides a architecture to enable location-aware technology. Location-aware technology allows a computer based device to figure out what’s around it. Usually “around” translates to “what’s directly around me, right now”. As you move, the various things (buildings, places, et al) change - and location-aware technology allows computers to know about that change. You can think of any given area (say, a town) to be a mass of location information, or annotations. Buildings, streets, restaurants, houses, stores, interesting art work, a spot to meet your friends every Monday, just about anything. AnnotatedEarth enables any computer device (laptops, cell phones, and PDA’s, to name a few) to understand where you are and what’s around you
