Article: "Google launches apps for sharing Latitude location"

Summary: Google has two new applications, for Google’s Talk service, which will update your chat status with your location every time your check in with Latitude and for a badge you can stick on your blog or social networking profile that shows precisely where you are. Yahoo has already hit Latitude applications, which called Friends on Fire application for Facebook. It lets users share their location with other Facebook buddies using Yahoo’s competing Fire Eagle service. Google is now promising more Latitude applications.

The system is good for parents, who have young children. I don’t know why the latitude service is used in Facebook to find their friends exactly where they are. It could be helpful if my friends are lost on their way to my house. Or for someone, who cheating girlfriend or boyfriend, it could be a dangerous application. (^_^)
