So many benefits come from leveraging location data, it's only going to become more and more prevalent within applications.

Later today, I will be happily flying to Colorado to go backpacking with my father over the weekend, followed by a week working from our Westminster facility. Then, it is on to Chicago before returning to San Fran. This very pleasant work/personal 10-day itinerary highlights the flexibility that modern air travel infrastructure affords, but it must be noted that there is an environmental downside to the ubiquitous nature of travel. You see, air travel is a highly carbon and resource intensive mode of travel. It takes a lot of energy to propel these massive apparatuses up to 500 miles an hour all over the globe.

My local fire department blasted a huge horn whenever they had to get in touch with fire crews in a hurry. Whether you have a loud horn, try to dial lots of phone numbers, or send text messages there is no single good way to rapidly get info to the right people. Each approach has its limitations. If a business needs to get in touch with folks and make sure that the right people heard the info and acted on it, automation is a necessity. Avaya's has a new category of product - Notification Solutions - that I'm just learning about and thought I'd spend a few internet bits trying to describe it here. Click here to read more
