Geotargeted Push Notifications Coming to a Phone Near You

New service combines personalization, time and context for targeting

Advertisers looking to leverage location to reach consumers are getting a new option.

At the O'Reilly Where Conference in San Francisco today, the Portland, Ore.-based startup Urban Airship is announcing a new service to deliver geotargeted push notifications.

Called Segments, the service marries the company's platform for deploying real-time messages and in-app purchase content with geospatial data amassed by SimpleGeo, a startup acquired by Urban Airship in October.

"We see this as the next natural step in targeted messaging," said CEO Scott Kveton.
