SimpleGeo Launching "~Storage': A Distributed Hosted Database For Location Data
The story of SimpleGeo is a familiar one: two founders "Matt Galligan and Joe Stump " set off to create location-based games, only to find that the tools they wanted to use to build their apps didn't exist yet. So they switched gears and decided to build what they wished they had: a suite of tools optimized for the creation of location-based services (which was probably a good call given the explosion of location-aware mobile devices).The startup launched almost exactly one year ago, and now offers products including 'Places' (a database of POIs)and 'Context', which lets developers query for data relevant to a given location, like the local weather. And now, they're ready for what Galligan calls the company's "grand unveiling", explaining that it's what they've been focused on for the last year: SimpleGeo Storage, which will be going live tomorrow.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/BbD89_DBL6I/
