Localmind is a very cool concept with a lot of potential but it needs thousands of users in every city for the app to be useful. During SXSW, they got precisely that level of density and the omniscience-as-a-service vision became very clear to me.
Intriguingly, because Localmind uses check-in services to passively acquire location data, it doesn't require users to actively use it in order for density to accumulate in the service.
Naw, they're awesome dudes and they'll be missed in Montréal. Who else but Lenny can we put all of out name tags onto by the end of every Startup Drinks ?
