Description:
Geolenz is a real-time location discovery application built upon the Twitter platform.
With Geolenz you can quickly ask a question about where something is and just as quickly get an answer back from the twitter community. The answer is in the form of marker(s) on a pictorial map, so you will know exactly where it is located.
Examples of location related questions:
- Where is the tweetup in Palo Alto taking place?
- Where are the biggest castles in the world located?
- Where are the finest distilleries in Scotland?
Geolenz keeps track of all of your question and answer activity for you and provides real-time personal and community activity dashboards, and easy search.
Twitter is used as a distribution platform to broadcast (tweet) questions and their responses to the user community.
Geolenz was founded by repeat entrepreneurs with domain expertise in mapping and Geo-media platforms, and Web 2.0 technologies.
