Overheard at Where

From a panelist on a geolocation panel moments ago:

“Looking for WiFi hotspots is a bourgeois activity [and then realizing people were laughing at the idea] … and so is driving directions for that matter.”

While that might or might not seemy funny, it was fairly priceless from someone on a panel of people from driving directions vendors at a conference devoted to location-centric services, like, you know, driving directions.
