Kakiloc marries social networks and location based services. Via handsets and via a web portal, it allows you to broadcast your location, and find the locations of your closest friends. It’s jammed full of features like reminders, and rules that allow you to specify things like “When my girlfriend is within one kilometer, let me know”, so you can grab lunch together… and, like LinkedIn, it includes friend of friend capabilities, so that you can be notified when there are people nearby who might be interesting to meet. Kakiloc envisions this capability being used at tradeshows, for instance.Â
Cool, with lots of potential.

well, I did eventually get to Barcamp Ottawa. The parking lot outside Bitheads is a skating rink, which made for interesting parking.
I cohosted a session with Michael Dunlevy from Labarge Weinstein on founders agreements. Labarge has a very complete package of agreements which would have been very useful when we were setting up iotum. the discussion was pretty free ranging and complete. I’m willing to bet it will be one of the best attended sessions of the day.
Michael compares founders agreements to a will. They cover the “what-if” scenarios where things go wrong. What if one founder has to take a job? Dies? Disagrees with the other founder(s)?
lf you’re starting a company, it would be prudent to give Michael a call.
