New version of Navizon with Geotags

OK, OK... I know some of you are complaining that I'm not posting enough here. But hey, you have to choose: cool Blog or cool features? Yes, I know: having both would be ideal but it's not an easy thing to do.
So like you figured out, we've been working a lot and we are proud to announce the availability of the Geotags on Navizon.

This is the coolest thing since the invention of sliced bread.

Here's how it works: you're in a place and you have something to say. Anything really... like you're in a restaurant and the service sucks... or is really great. You launch Navizon, create a tag and post it.
Now next time someone will pass by the restaurant, he will have the tag pop up on his device. And the best thing is that all he/she needs is  a phone or a wifi device (or both). Don't need to have GPS. Why? Because if you were able to post the tag, you either had GPS (in which case the area is now covered by Navizon) or you didn't and that means that the area was covered before anyway.
That way, you can be sure that this tag will be available to a large audience: not only the lucky ones of you who have a GPS, but everyone with a standard smartphone.

You can do many other things with the Geotags: tag speed cameras on the highway so that other users will be alerted to slow down, come up with cool games, remind yourself of buying some milk each time you pass by your corner grocery store, propose to your girlfriend by having a geotag "would you marry me?" popup on her cell phone when she will pass by  the storefront of Tiffany's.... Dunno, just some ideas. Your imagination is the limit!

Anyway, I'm sure you guys are going to have a lot of fun with it. So enjoy and don't hesitate to share your experience in the forum.
