Update on Skyhook Wireless

LBS
GigaOm has an update on Skyhook, the company that offers a wi-fi-based location system called Loki. Hightlights:

- it is powering a location-based plug-in for AOL Instant Messenger users that will go live by the end of the year.

- it has a deal with another IM provider

- an upgrade to its Loki plug-in includes local advertising that can show users local businesses and allow messages to friends to include location information; clickthroughs are good

- the company has signed up a “big component company” that will use Skyhook’s WiFi location data technology in dual WiFi/cellular phones
