What other companies provide geofencing and what do their APIs
look like?
I know Google has some stuff for Android buried in Google Play
Services.
In general I think it might be less big brother if instead of the
user reporting their location we add in metadata to filter
incoming messages. This will have us sending more metadata but we
don't have to worry about what if some bad guy compromises the
server and start following his mother-in-law.
Sorry, I'm not sure to understand the alternative you propose.
I don't like
the push server knowing every user's location. Instead of
the push server deciding to send to a user based on her location the
push server should send a "filter" property with the message the client
can use to determine if it should show the message.
