Plazes Network Networks With Google Maps
Over at Plazes blog we read today that it has teamed up with the folks at Google Earth to integrate their users' location data into its maps. We wrote about Plazes a while ago when it attracted some angel investors. We still are trying to figure out what the pain point is that this firm's software solves but we'll let it slide - the techies of this world seem to love it.
Fact is mobilephone companies have tons of data about where users are and they are not doing anything with it - they are not adding services that let you see where your friends or kids are located, or where the next Starbucks is, and they do not seem to be heading in that direction either, so Plazes is jumping in with an alternative solution, at least for Internet users.
This video from Handelsblatt.com, part of series, has an interview with Plazes's mastermind Stefan Kellner. If you understand German, it's good.
