Podcast description form the website: "In real estate and on the Internet today, the key is location, location, location. Facebook Places, Google Latitude and Foursquare have opened our eyes to the potential benefits and concerns of geolocation services and features. Why are we voluntarily and publicly disclosing so much personal location information today? In this episode, co-hosts Dennis Kennedy and Tom Mighell discuss the growing role of geolocation services, how you might participate in and benefit from them, and how to make good choices about opting in and opting out of this brave new world.  After you listen, be sure to check out Tom & Dennis' co-blog and book by the same name, The Lawyers Guide to Collaboration Tools and Technologies.

Special thanks to our sponsor, Clio."

This post was written by Bryan Sims: "The State Bar of Wisconsin recently published an article on metadata that I co-authored with Wisconsin Practice Management Advisor Nerino Petro. Nerino and I have spoken on this topic before on a couple of occasions. This is a topic that far too many attorneys remain in the dark about.

If you are not sure what metadata is or how to manage it, I encourage you to go read the article.

You can find it here."

This post was written by Simon Fodden: "The good thing is that your cellphone lets others know where you are. The bad thing is that your cellphone lets others know where you are -- whether you want it to or not.

Every few seconds your cellphone checks in with either a relay tower or a GPS system, which is how it's able to perform the wonders of geolocation on Google Maps or Yelp or whatever apps you use to tell you where you are and what's available around you.
