Loki Adds Mobile versions

Loki, the location aware browser plug-in search updated its service for use Mobile phones earlier this week.

The mobile version works with any handset running Windows Mobile and doesn’t require your phone to have GPS. Loki  uses your phone’s built-in WiFi and several access points to triangulate your location, similar to how the police track down bad guys using cell phones in movies and TV shows. Services that have developed Loki integration using the API give users the chance to automatically send their location information and use on site services. One site that’s done this is Socialight.com, which lets you create and explore sticky notes on maps.
