Hopes something like this comes for facebook soon as well.

Not sure how useful this really is especially since its opt-in. The folks I would care for to know my whereabouts probably already do.
For topical questions like "Lunch Anyone?", whats the chance that the subset of your friends you really want to eat out with would have fired the application and read it in time?

Sounds interesting, but the cartoon people with no feet and giant hands in that video give me the creeps. Anyone else?

"I’ve been hyping up location-based mobile services as the next big thing in mobile..."
We always wonder how we could make it more and more useful to our users? Are their any adwords like programs designed for maps?

See, it's developments like this that bring out my inner paranoiac. It was only a matter of time before someone did it and at least it's google. Here's hoping their 'Do no evil' mantra holds.

Why is it a big minus that the ipod and iphone aren't supported?
Apple make up a tiny percentage of the market. Google has covered 98% of smart phones out there by supporting Blackberry, Windows Mobile and the S60 platform.
Besides, who would want this on an ipod?

I'm from Croatia and Latitude works great, several friends from Zagreb have confirmed it too. The only problem is that it doesn't work on iPhone.

I'm curious, how is this different/better than BrightKite or a number of other services doing this? Is it just because it's Google?

I am setting this up for my business this weekend across our system of mobile devices. I have to continually communicate with guys at several locations downtown and it would be great to be able to verify they are there if I need them at any given time. Still going to double check with gemalto to verify there aren't any notable vulnerabilities since it's for work.

others might want to spin a complex web of deceit which will ultimately make their life miserable. It’s like a game; you can choose how interesting you want it to be.
"I’ve been hyping up location-based mobile services as the next big thing in mobile, and the usual counter-argument I get is: “people don’t really want everyone to know where they are.”
Location based services have been around for a while, I first noticed it in 2001 with the release of the Ericsson T68 on AT&T in 2001-2002 . Everyone knew back then it would be a big thing. Why is everyone now only saying its the next biggest thing? It has been a big thing for years, just not aavialable to the masses. Until alot more intricate smart phones were introduced.
