Join Brightkite, Soundtrckr, and Skyhook Wireless for an evening exploring the latest trends in GeoSocial apps!

Geo-location and social networking are converging rapidly. This year’s South by Southwest Interactive festival in Austin saw big players, such as Nokia and Google, building out location databases; Twitter and Facebook enabling their respective services to include location-tagged post/tweets; and, browsers, such as Google Chrome supporting W3C’s geo-location.
