Researchers Warn of Geotagging Dangers - Are You Concerned?
To demonstrate the ease involved in determining a stranger's precise location, Friedland and Sommer first "cybercased" Craigslist, a classified ads website often used to post items for sale. Here they found geo-tagged photos which they compared with Google Street View, allowing them to determine the postal addresses belonging to the item's sellers. Even more helpful (if the researchers were, in fact, thieves), was that several ads included a "best time to call" - implying the hours the sellers were not at home. | source : m.readwriteweb.com

Les médias géolocalisés: Une révolution de notre rapport aux autres et à notre environnement ? - Nicolas NOVA, FYP editions, 2009 - Google books
Dans toutes les conversations distantes, la question " t'es où ? " est aussi importante que la raison de l'appel. Mais très vite, d'autres questions apparaissent : " Où suis-je exactement ? Qu'est ce qu'il y a à proximité ? Qui ? " La localisation, et ce que l'on appelle désormais les médias géolocalisés, sont devenus un enjeu majeur, à la fois technologique, économique, et même social. Outils de repérages dans l'espace, géoréférencement de photographies, sites communautaires mobiles, informations localisées en situation de mobilité, pratiques artistiques, les médias géolocalisés proposent tout un éventail de nouvelles applications basées sur le géopositionnement des utilisateurs. L'espace physique s'enrichit d'une " couche numérique " offrant des manières inédites de créer ou de faire circuler des contenus et des formes de sociabilité originales. Mais si les médias géolocalisés provoquent des attentes démesurées, ils suscitent aussi des peurs. | source : books.google.fr
