+1 for me. I’m very interested in this topic.

Like Megan, I’m based out of a historic site (Monticello) and we’re just starting to think hard about how we might effectively use mobile tech there (beyond simply “checking in”). We’ve got ideas ranging from AR to mobile story-telling to large travelogues. How can we truly enrich the visitor’s experience through mobile devices and not simply have a one-off “oh, that’s fun” experience.

I’m interested in the incorporation of geolocation tools in performance genres (music, in particular), from the perspective of an experimental music performer and teacher. Thanks!

I’ve been curious as to how some of the popular geolocation apps (gowalla, foursquare) might be used to encourage visitors to visit mulitple museums and historic sites – telling a story over multiple sites.

This sounds great, Terry! Some other options in lieu of PlaceThings might be Stickybits or Tales of Things. Also, in terms of a Foursquare badge hunting expedition, here’s some interesting reading: mattersofgrey.com/foursquare-badge-list/

I’d love to talk mobile media also, as it is something that I think could be used for public archaeology quite effectively, since archaeology is inherently site-specific. This could be translated well into a number of other disciplines as well, I would imagine. I have dabbled some with using Foursquare for this, and I am waiting patiently for PlaceThings (www.placethings.com/) to come out…

And yes, Foursquare badge hunting would be fun.
