Mozilla releases the new add-on Geode
Mozilla Labs, plans to announce a plug-in called Geode which gives the Firefox Web browser a better ability to understand and utilize geographic information on the Web. Doug Turner,in one of the blogs had said this about Geode, “a Firefox add-on that understands location, enabling enriched, personalized, and localized content.”
Today, the real estate term ‘location, location, location’ is very much applicable to the Web.This is due to the fact that “where you are” is equally important as the information you’re seeking.Mozilla’s Geode, a Firefox geolocation add-on is one which will enable localized content.At this stage, the details of geode have not been disclosed much,but this is what is explained in one of the blogs “With Geode, a user who is looking for restaurants while they are out of town will be able to load up their favorite review site and find suggestions a couple blocks away and plot directions there.” This is more relevant for GPS-enabled mobile platforms that utilise location-specific information in order to simplify the method in which people access and share content on a regular basis.
