ABOUT MINDSITES GROUP, LLC
MindSites Group, LLC was formed by Jaime Bozza, a former employee of Qlinks Media Group, the business division of Qlinks that operated the GeoCommunity and the Wireless Developer Network, to spin-off and grow the two highly successful online communities.

Launched in July 1997, The GeoCommunity has been the leading online community for technical professionals in the geospatial industry for nearly a decade. The GeoCommunity provides daily news and resources for a variety of technologies including GIS, GPS, mapping, LBS, cartography, computer-aided design, and remote sensing.

Over the last seven years, the Wireless Developer Network has been a leading online community for software developers and information technology professionals interested in wireless application development, mobile computing, and wireless communications. The Wireless Developer Network provides daily news and resources for those interested in the latest on wireless application technologies.

ya, well this is a f%$^%$^ joke. Geocommunity was owned by a "company" called Thinkburst, then they went bankrupt, owners filed for bankruptcy, screwed their employees out of wages and holiday pay owed etc - they turned the company over to an investor who created a joke of a company name called qlinks media. They sucked all the cash out of the company that they could, then ran off screwing everyone including investors etc... then a new company pops up called mindsites and simply takes over... its a total sham and absolute joke. Anyone who does business with them, buys data, or whatever deserves to get screwed over, and they likely will eventually. The company is run buy a group of people that know nothing at all about GIS and they simply whore out and resell old public data that is easily available from other places - let the buyer beware!

I used to buy a lot of GIS data and never found anything on there of value... anyway, their former editor Glenn Letham (before qLinks) has been building GISuser.com GIS, GPS, LBS, CAD, etc. for a few years now.. that is probably a much better portal now than the GeoCommunity.com.. I used to like how he got involved in the community (GISList) and the articles and content he developed was always interesting.
