Funny stuff Just about everybody in location based services calls themselves the leader, while Poynt was an early pioneer there are other early examples but believe me this is not one of them - " Urban Airship’s customers could use location before, but it was not built into the platform. Previously they would need to use the company’s tagging system, associating postal codes or other location data with particular users. First a partnership with SimpleGeo, then the acquisition moved this feature to the forefront. “We could not have moved this quickly and got into location without SimpleGeo. And now we believe we’re the leaders in location,” Kveton said. "
