Mashing-up integrated location, social networks and recommendations: the POI Radar

Users want to access user generated content and recommendations in a contextualized way while on the move. In this paper we illustrate the POI radar service and its architecture, a mobile mashup of integrated location, social network and users' recommendations to provide contextualized notifications of nearby points of interest voted by user's contacts. A description of the service scenario, architecture and its technical components is given, focusing on how information is mashed up with mobile technologies.
