The Wall Street Journal this morning had a short article pointing out the
somewhat obvious reasons why location-based services on cell phones
are still not mainstream. It also helpfully pointed out that carriers were working on it. To
recap, LBS services need three main things: a way to get location (which we have thanks to
GPS chips and even the ability to
triangulate using Wi-Fi networks), software that can make sense of geographic information and
do something with it (which are out), and cooperation between handset makers and carriers to
enable developers to access such services easily.
It’s the cooperation piece that fails, but the article points to several companies such as
Nokia, uLocate’s Where application and SkyHook Wireless that are
attempting to bridge that gap by offering a platform that will sit between carriers and smaller
developers. For example, uLocate has signed a deal
with Sprint to act as the LBS platform for its WiMAX network. Smaller developers can sign on
through Where and get access to WiMAX subscribers without worrying about working with Sprint or
getting the location information form a provider. I suppose since we’ve waited this long for LBS, most
of us can wait a little longer.

Yieldex, a startup that helps online publishers forecast ad inventory, has
won the Amazon Web Services Startup
Challenge, netting $100,000 in cash and services. Yieldex
built its ad forecasting platform using the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud and the Amazon Simple
Storage Service. It won $50,000 in AWS services as well as $50,000 in cash, and may even get an
Amazon investment. In addition, it and six other
finalists got to pitch their businesses to several VC firm including BlueRun
Ventures, CMEA Ventures, Greylock Partners, Hummer Winblad Venture Partners and Madrona Venture
Group, who help judge the contest. Last year’s
winner Ooyala managed to score $8.5 million in venture funding two

at the a
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/blog/2008/nov/14/endangeredspecies-conservation"annual
Earthwatch debate/a. The audience heard from five eminent scientists who battled it out for fungi,
bats, plankton, primates and bees. /ppWhile of course all species are invaluable for our ecosystem,
the debate is designed to raise awareness about conservation by asking the audience to vote for
just one of the species to receive a fictitious cheque for one trillion pounds to be spent on their
conservation./ppIt comes us no surprise that the audience voted to save the bees. Who would want a
world without honey, flowers, and third of everything we eat including chocolate and coffee? Not
me./ppSome 250,000 species of flowering plants depend on bees for pollination. Many of these are
crucial to world agriculture. a
href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/aug/14/conservation.pollution"Bees increase the
yields of around 90 crops/a, such as apples, blueberries and cucumbers by up to 30%, so many fruits
and vegetables would become scarce and prohibitively expensive. /ppIn addition, many of our
medicines, both conventional and alternative remedies, come from flowering plants. And cotton is
another essential product pollinated by the bee, so we could say goodbye to cheap T-shirts and
jeans./ppBut it's not just the human race that would suffer. Spare a thought for the poor birds and
small mammals that feed off the berries and seeds that rely on bee pollination. They would die of
hunger and in turn their predators – the omnivores or carnivores that continue
the food chain would also starve. We could survive on wind-pollinated grains and fish, but there
would be wars for control of dwindling food supplies. South America's ancient Mayan civilisation is
thought to have died of starvation. /ppAlthough other insects and animals do pollinate
– such as bats, butterflies and even wasps – none is
designed like the bee as a pollinator machine. br /There are 20,000 bee species around the world
including solitary bees, bumblebees and honeybees. Many are monoletic –
pollinate one plant – others like bumblebees and honeybees are polylectic.
While bumblebees live in colonies of a few hundred, the sheer number of honeybees in a hive
– up to 50,000 in the summer - and their ability to be managed, manipulated and
transported by man makes them the most valuable pollinator. /ppUnfortunately all bees are already
under serious Industrialised farming with its monocultures and pesticides has destroyed
biodiversity and robbed the majority of bees of their habitat and food. While across the globe, the
western honeybee – bred for its gentle nature and prolific honey making and
pollination – is plagued by parasites and viruses, and also jeopardised by
modern agricultural practices. More than a third of honeybees were wiped out in the US this year by
Colony Collapse Disorder, a mysterious disease which is thought to be a combination of these
assailants./ppAs Dr George McGavin, who was batting for the bees said: "Bee populations are in
freefall. A world without bees would be totally catastrophic."/ppThe Earthwatch audience should be
applauded for heading his call and voting to save them, and itself as well./pp· Alison
