Google Latitude

Last day, we started taking a look at the new Google Latitude web application. It is kind of like gps, allowing friends or other users to know where you are, or where you want them to think you are. Currently the program is not yet very good since Google only has a couple satellites here and there, so that would mean a user could be misplaced a couple blocks away. Its still a good way to see how far your friends are when a meeting point is arranged, where your lost cellphone might be, etc.
