It is however more focused on the developer community, and does not offer social-oriented services.

In Japan there are already a number of third parties using this technology to provide location-aware services. http://www.placeengine.com/en PlaceEngine (Tokyo based) uses a very similar technology (or at least the idea behind it) and provides similar services.
