Geo-Locative Info

Are we entering "the sunsetting of the Web" as Caterina Fake, one of the cofounders of Flickr, puts it. Says Fake:
The idea of a browser, of a Web page, is becoming less and less important. The Web is breaking apart. We set up our services online, but are then looking at the data on a mobile phone or PDA.
That quote comes courtesy of the Poynter-based blog of Monique Van Dusseldorp, who attended the Digital Lifestyle Days conference in Munich this month with Fake.

Van Dusseldorp writes:
What does this mean for new services? Your device knows where you are and where your friends are. Fake was convinced that the next wave would be in "geo-locative' information.
Another next wave to monitor. Cool.
