What for 2010?

I recently combed through a notepad (physical not Windows) where I collected important information in the early 1990s. I developed a habit of writing companies or topics of interest in the margin, and a quick note of why it was interesting. Eventually I might get around to "discovering" additional information, but otherwise it remained invisible until my recent discovery, unless I happened to run across the company's location in the physical world.

Along with the 1990s notepad, I found another from 2000 or 2001 with websites scribbled on the side. I checked those out back then, added them to my bookmarks, and am surprised to see ones I still use today. Back then if you didn't have a web presence, you didn't exist to a large group of people.

As technology has deepened our lives to such a point, there are numerous opportunities to cross over the web space in to the physical space.

Since I've been working with geospatial, I'm curious on what will happen for 2010?

For Mapicurious I think it safe to say - if you don't exist properly in either my auto's GPS, my handheld GPS, or my cellphone GPS - I probably will not find you.

That means this is the time to get your business georeferenced.
