Hello everyone,

I just stumbled upon this interesting piece by Matt Jones (of dopplr
fame) on location based services:

Of course he's more focused on social networking software than he is
on software, that controls our hardware, but I still think it's an
interesting read. He's definitely showing a welcome understanding of
the human aspects of designing software. Basically also what we are
after, when we talk about a user centered design approach. So perhaps
it's worth to have a look at it.
