Tagggit hopes to change how city dwellers use their phones.
Tagggit’s new mobile application can now find the phone’s position indoors, within a few seconds and accurate to fifteen feet. Today Tagggit launched a new version of their mobile application, the second application ever to deliver an accurate wireless positioning system on mobile phones; second only to the 3G iPhone Maps application.
Tagggit have termed the wireless positioning system “City Mode” as it functions in metropolitan areas. Loughlin Spollen, Tagggit’s founder, explains “Tagggit is at its most useful in large cities and is currently used by members to find each other in downtown areas and to leave recommendations and surprise tags for friends. However GPS is not good in built-up areas. This latest release of our mobile software will help us change the way urbanites use their phones.”
The Tagggit mobile application makes Tagggit a market leader in the geo tagging social network space. Loughlin describes this release “a major milestone for us as Tagggit members no longer have to wait for a GPS fix or stand outside to create and search for tags.” Tagggit now produces instant results without a notable delay. Tagggit members can find their location and the tags in their vicinity without waiting on a GPS fix.

Each month we select a hot topic and a leading figure in the industry to write about it.Lack of Location Awareness is ‘Analytical Blind Spot’ for Organisations.
Traditional Business Intelligence has looked at the ‘who’, ‘what’, and ‘why’ around data, but has ignored the ‘where’. Location is a core analytical dimension. Within this data lies a vast pool of intelligence that largely remains untapped for organisations. This rich data source is particularly important for UK Public Sector organisations in enabling a single view of the citizen, delivering citizen self-services, improving compliance, and optimising cost efficiencies.
Location is ubiquitous and influences most, if not all, business behaviour and outcomes – yet a lack of location awareness remains an analytical blind spot for a large number of organisations who have not considered how the geographic and location aspects of the data they hold affects their business processes… More…
