Developers can now harness the power of Quova's complex IP geolocation technology within SimpleGeo's framework for creating location apps. Quova announced the partnership today at Where 2.0 in San Jose, and said it will broaden its customer base and provide new contexts for its data. In return, SimpleGeo wins by giving developers a more complete solution for geolocation.

Saturday nights WhereCampPDX 2009 hackathon focused on a couple of projects this year.  Michael Wiesman, Kate Chapman, James Fee, and Reid Beels worked with the foursquare api to create "super-mayors" for those that had the most checkins for a particular neighborhood.  Other projects included updates to the famous calagator and reving up packmanhattan for sundays geolocation games.  In the clip below Kate, James, Micheal, and Reid have fun with their project.

I'm just this guy on the interwebs! Keeping it real. I'm interested in leveraging old and new internet technology to connect and forge high value relationships, change government, and help people find a voice (not voices in their heads). I'm a Geospatial Geek in the Portland area. I speak my own opinions and I'm working on leaving the porch light on for visitors. I'm a firm believer in doing as much good as I can before inevitably turning to the dark side.
