Mobile map
Our mashup Mobile maps has been updated. Full screen map for mobiles (iPhone, Android - any HTML5 browser) lets you share location info as a signature for the standard messages.
You can load it right to your mobile browser with this QR code too:
You can use this mashup as is or embed it into your own applications. It helps you show some information for mobile users. This mashup accepts the following optional parameters for the basic URL:
t - text for POI
lat - POI's latitude
lng - POI's longitude
lat0 - own location (latitude)
lng0 - own location (longitude)
email - default email address
phone - default phone for SMS
lang - language for the map
dt - timestamp (milliseconds)
d - duration (min). For example, if your POI presents some event
instead of (lat, lng) pair you can use another parameter
a - address for your POI
For example, UK Prime Minister
We are using this tool in many our mobile LBS applications.
P.S. it is HTML5 web application, so the same will work in your desktop browser too, except SMS sharing of course.

Hyper-local chat and forum
Our mobile web application WiFi chat has been updated again. What kind of object (real or virtual) can we use for joining together mobile users? We are not talking here about members of social networks. We are looking a way for creating group chat. Here, for example, is a short list for several our applications:
City forum - discussions (forums) linked to places (POI - point of interest)
Geo forum - the similar to above (also mobile forums) but linked to location
Mobile forum - lets you add discussions to any physical object.
City chat - web chat linked to any POI (point of interest)
Geo chat - web chat linked to some location
And here is our new idea - Wi-Fi Chat. Forum and chat linked to some Wi-Fi network. Communication tools based on ideas of network proximity. It is a mobile application that lets you see available (visible) Wi-Fi networks and link (attach) discussions and chats to them. We are not talking about connecting to Wi-Fi networks. We are using any Wi-Fi network just as a sensor. If you can see it from your mobile, you are somewhere near. We can call it Wi-Fi proximity. That is an idea. All people seeing the same network are in the some proximity. So, they could have some common points for the discussions.
Just one interesting remark – Wi-Fi access point could be opened right on the mobile phone. And with WiFi chat application this phone will play a role of presence sensor uniting (combining together) local people for the communications.
Technically this application uses cloud forums from Disqus and web chat from Coldbeans.
You can load .apk right from Android Market:
com.wifichat
Also you can download .apk file right from our server: http://servletsuite.com/WiFiChat.apk. Here is an appropriate QR-code:
WiFi chat, actually, is a side project for our new development - SpotEx. This application uses ideas of proximity as a service and lets you attach (link) your own data to Wi-Fi access points. We will describe it separately.

Places, reviews and custom check-ins for Facebook
You are welcome to check out a new version of our mashup Places from Facebook.
Lets you search for places, show them on the map, copy locations to mobile, see friends activity, check-in anywhere as well as prepare mobile web pages for customized check-ins.
You can directly pass the following parameters to the basic URL:
lat - latitude
lng - longitude
q - query for search
lang - language code for the map (E.g.: lang=en or lang=de etc.
For example, Facebook in London
For customized check-in place owner (or advertising/marketing agency, for example) can define all the aspects of check-in - data to be posted on user's wall, data to be returned as a confirmation, Google Analytics code for stats monitoring etc. This version provides own analytics for check-ins too. And of course you still can use Facebook’s dashboard for places pages - mashup creates standard check-ins for Facebook.
In other words – any small business can create public (or private) "Foursquare-like" system for own visitors. Using all the power of Facebook’s user base.
Also this version supports the newest API from Facebook - geocoded postings. Now you can write reviews for Places.
P.S. And here you can see a mobile version for this mashup.
