And this knowledge is transformed into a myriad of location-aware transactions that blend your reality with your virtual self into one coherent experience that enhances your appreciation for local cultures". http://global-culture.org/blog/2007/06/30/hyperlocal-culture/ I applaud the use of “media services” as a meta construct where the news is not the only piece of information that interest people.
