I want tools that understand that I don't want to geotag when I'm at home, only when I'm outside

I want tools that let me obfuscate my home address but help me meet up with people in my home town. Google Latitude is not doing it for me I have to say. Fire Eagle seemed much more sophisticated in that regard.
- Cameron Neylon
Exactly Cameron: basically I want it to either grow increasingly inaccurate as I approach home, or deactivate altogether, while still letting me geotag photos and meet people when I'm out and about. Latitude is the easiest to get non-techies on, but no good on the iPhone anyway since there are no background tasks permitted, and without very much location sharing granularity, unlike BrightKite.

thus creating a geotag free zone that surrounds your home ...
- Anna Croft
... and pretty accurately identifies where you live, thus defeating the purpose?
- Bill Hooker
not a geotag (which the iPhone insists should be spelled feorag) free zone, an increasing zone of randomness. so there would still be points in the area near your home, they would just be false. true location shielded by noise, not silence.

FireEagle did some very clever fuzzy logic thing that made it quite difficult to pin down precise location to less than three miles.
- Cameron Neylon
still would have a high probability zone and we could always database match to get your postcode and narrow it down.
- Anna Croft
But you can database match against name and postcode anyway presumably.Its probably futile though. I wonder how easy it is to get e.g. my home address (from the web). Answers on a postcard :-)

not sure we have 20th cen policies http://www.ppforum.com/sites... A lot of our structure is still frozen in the 19th cen. (link via @Canuckflack )
do you think fostering connections between its research community is a campus library role, or should it only provide info / ref services?
That is, should the library be a "meeting place of the sciences", trying to enable cross-discipline conversations by having science-wide discussions (e.g. a seminar on open science) or should it focus on delivering more traditional services like access and answering reference requests? Is an academic library (made up of) its community, or does it consist only of its contents?
