   Dear all,

a big thank you to all of you who have taken the survey. I do not want to SPAM this forum but I’d like to ask for some more participants for a validate result.

Anyone who has a spare 5 minutes this weekend is invited to waste them on my project: http://www.sowaidnig.de/survey/

Thanks again! Ralph

   Dear all,

I’d like to invite you to a survey about Location Based Services based upon an idea connected to LUGNET. I am writing a paper for the university of Frankfurt about the use of Privacy Enhanching Technologies (PET) and their use in Location Based Services (LBS).

The survey won’t take longer than 5 minutes and I’d be very pleased if you’d participate and share your opinion:

I had the idea for this LBS when I stumbled upon LUGNET as an example for an Online Community in another scientific paper.

If you have any input, ideas or would like to discuss this topic, please feel free to leave your comments/thoughts.

Thanks for your effort and I hope you enjoy the little survey.

Location-based services (LBS) are offered by some cell phone networks as a way to send custom advertising and other information to cell-phone subscribers based on their current location. The cell-phone service provider gets the location from a GPS chip built into the phone, or using radiolocation and trilateration based on the signal-strength of the closest cell-phone towers (for phones without GPS features).

i did the survey but it sounds to me like it’s just another way for billon dollar companys to spam cell phone users. i for one wouldn’t even concider using such a system. i’ll stick to bricklink sales and google if i want to find a deal. ondrew
