Latest Location Based Service Startup
The picture on the right is from a sticker I found in a toilet at the Grand Hyatt Hotel while attending the Mobile 2.0 user conference.
In case you cannot read well the text, the sticker advertises a mobile web site where you can check where is the closest clean toilet The sticker was literally in the wall of the toilet (which was pretty clean, btw) so you could see it while you were peeing. Probably a bit too late to use the service but certainly a good place to promote your service since anyone there, will, eventually, go again to a toilet in some other occasion and might decide to use what I think is the silliest location based service I have ever seen. Not surprise to see this startup being acquired by Google to add to their local offering…Seeing this is what makes me think that anything is possible in Silicon Valley.

If Google really spent a dollar on this, then the I’m sure the prophecies regarding Bubble 2.0 would become true…
