Hello Claudio,
You may have heard about locr.com, an innovative Location Based Social Networking site from Germany.
With locr you can discover a whole new side of photo sharing and geotagging. With locr’s free mobile phone software you can automatically geotag and instantly upload photos to locr from anywhere in the world.
With locr, mobile phones become interactive, mobile tour guides.
In addition to that you can create your own travel photo album. locr offers an web-based solution, so you can design your photo album including 3-D mapping material and Wikipedia content.
It would be great if you could add locr to your LBS list.
Best Regards
Malte

Hello Claudio,
another location-based service from Germany
GPS Mission is a location-based gaming platform based on user-generated content. Anybody can easily create a GPS game themselves on http://www.gpsmission.com .
After 8 month people have created GPS Missions (treasurehunts, timetravels, guides, and others) in 58 countries.
GPS Mission is the first worldwide playable GPS game for the iPhone.
You can download the iPhone client here: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=299243453&mt=8
Would be great if you add GPS Mission to your lists too.
Kind regards
