Geospatial Solutions offers a long and interesting article named "Mass-Market Geo Drives the Industry" by Sam Bacharach and Carl Reed. From the article's introduction: "The term "mass-market geo" represents the set of Web-based, geospatial-enabled applications that put geospatial technologies in the hands of anyone, anywhere, anytime — as long as they have Internet connectivity. Further, these are applications that can be used by people with no knowledge of GIS, remote sensing, geodata, or metadata. Examples of mass-market geo applications include the various Earth browsers, GeoRSS, location-enabled mobile applications, and volunteered geographic information (VGI)."
