So maybe the next new, new thing is Google Latitude. http://www.google.com/latitude/intro.html But it’s just a novelty, surely?
Privacy concerns – maybe. You’d certainly have to be careful when using the (approximate) automatic location updates, to remember who you have given permission to and where you are. The potential of course comes from what else it will be able to do: match your location with local services, act as an alternative to foot-bound map reading, find out where your younger children are? Not sure.
Whatever, it must be tied in with Google Android mobile OS and the T-Mobile G1, so it’ll be interesting to see what’s coming next.
