I'd strike the word "Web" entirely.

Geospatial Technology is, I suppose, the general term we use, though we're more 
into neosurveying or locative media/gaming. Neogeographers for me tend to be 
the people writing the code (GIS types) while neosurveyors are the participants 
who are submitting their own content to maps.

Chris,

The GeoWeb term has been bogus in its own way. It's supposed to be an analogy 
to WWW or Semantic Web, right? But what's the defining characteristic of these 
webs? Links, computationally actionable links.
Geospatial architectures have always been sparsely linked, at least until 
Google Earth and KML hit the mainstream.

Cheers,
Sean
