My First Post at ReadWriteWeb: Where 2.0: Quova and SimpleGEO Make App Building Easier

If you believe in matches made in heaven then you will understand why the new partnership between Quova and SimpleGeo is just that.

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.

Microsoft reports some success with regaining data after the massive server failure that cause sidekick users to lose personal information. This has to be one of the first major negative exposures of cloud services to the public. Gmail, Twitter, and Facebook have all had moments where the service was down or very slow. None of them has ever blatantly lost a massive amount of stored data that I'm aware of.

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.
