Taking a critical look at market and technology development around the enterprise space.

ellementK: (ĕll'ǝ-mǝnt-kā) noun - A fundamental, essential, or irreducible constituent of a composite entity. Middle English, from Old French, from Latin elementum. In this case, also related to the modern French mentir, to lie. (adapted from Dictionary.com)

About Eleanor Kruszewski: I'm known variously as Eleanor or Elle. My last name is like that coach from Duke - kru-shef-ski.

Based in Menlo Park, CA, I work for Yahoo! in their Developer Network. The easiest description of what I do is the MBA shin kicker, handling community, marketing, commercial programs and sundry backend stuff.

Disclaimer: I've done big corps, midcorps, and startups, so I overstate and oversimplify as much as anyone else. These opinions are my own, not my employer's.

Institute for the Future report on location based services

The Institute for the Future, a futurist think-tank in Menlo Park has been doing a lot of thinking around location-based services. Check out their report, Infrastructure for a New Geography. Some of it is pretty far out, and of questionable value, but their report of projects and companies involved is useful. Membership in the IFTF is available in the Technology Horizons Program for about $15K a year, with numerous benefits including reports like these, an annual conference and access to thought leaders.
[edited to point to the file on IFTF’s site, rather than to a local copy here, as requested by Sean Ness. It looks like they removed the original blog entry for this file. If this link goes dead, it’s because IFTF removed the file. Note that this price was that quoted for my employer in response to my question, “Exactly how expensive are you?”]
