SpotJots Win Award By Combining Location and Blogs
Location based blogging site SpotJots won the prize for NavTeq global LBS challenge 2008. The key take aways here are that  location based applications are quickly gaining ground and this is the future direction of social networking.
First launched in 2003, the NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge is focused on driving the development and visibility of innovative navigation solutions for wireless devices. The application had to work on a Nokia N95 device.
In my opinion this is an extreme form of blogging - social blogging with latitude as spotjots calls it. For some neighborhoods it can be very relevant and the imagery and map resolution can be captivating. I found it a bit too much to see the map rectange with every post. What would be better is to have a geocode associated with each post (and perhaps tags with relevant words which come automatically as you hover over).  Overall it will be best if this could be integrated with one of mainstream news and information site.
