Abstract
When communicating with other people, we are normally aware of our surroundings, as a context of our communication. Geographical representation as a part of messaging has a long history in traditional media. For example, we send postcards with a picture and a postage stamp. The LocationMessaging Server is a messaging platform that provides the possibility to utilize location information to enrich mobile and web based messaging. On one hand, the Web interface of the Server represents a possibility to store, create, organize and deliver messages that include a location reference. A wide range of map material can be used to visualize the location a message created or received contains. On the other hand, mobility gives the freedom to create and receive geographically enriched messages anywhere; LocationMessaging is used to store your own Points of Interest, to inform others about your location, to search and find places and people.
