2012 - Ten Trends


On New Year's Eve, this blog offered insights about the most popular posts on this blog during the past year.  Now, on the back side of New Year's Day, find below ten trends from 2012 that were identified from posts that weren't popular enough to make the top ten list, but in the opinion of this author, nevertheless had substance (Drones/UAS/UAV's issues were excluded from the list below because of my previous comments about the importance of this topic).

2012 - Ten Trends:

FEMA Gets Better at Geospatial



Common Operating Picture Use Spreads


Technology Based Volunteer Efforts Expand


U.S. National Grid Efforts Grow


Significant Data Issues Remain


Disaster Mapping Systems For The Public Are Weak


Feds Working New Tech Based Approaches


Social Media Use Becomes More Robust


What's Underground Needlessly Mystifies


Location Privacy Issues Increase




Comment: One unifying theme that brings all the above trends together - get on board with the Geospatial Revolution now, or find yourself at a serious disadvantage in the years ahead.
