CEO of SimpleGeo here to clear some things up: SimpleGeo does provide "writeable layers". This is our primary feature. Essentially, developers can create a private layer, then start populating that layer with points. Those points can be checkins, media, breadcrumbs, points of interest...anything, really. The SpotRank data (provided by Skyhook) is an additional API endpoint that allows you to see the current population density of a given area based on cell phone usage. We do provide breadcrumbing, or user history if you will. This pairs nicely with iPhone OS 4.0's new background location. Beyond all of this, we're turning on our Marketplace shortly. We've gone out and found lots of great geodata to expose to developers. Some developers have also begun to contribute their own geodata to the Marketplace. Hope this helps! (We do need some better messaging on our website for sure). |
