Geo messages

This paper describes a new approach for sharing location info in LBS: geo messages. Geo messages let you share location info data as signatures to the standard messages (email, SMS). Rather than let some service constantly monitor your location (Google Latitude) or share your location info with some social circle (Foursquare check-in etc.) Geo Messages approach lets you share location data on the peer to peer basic. You can share your location info as a signature to the standard messaging (email, SMS). And what is important - shared location data (map) does not contain your identity. Your ID (name, phone) is in your email (SMS) only - so the shared map does not reveal your privacy.
