I'm a little afraid of it myself though. I had location turned on in my Twidroid (android twitter client) and didn't realize it and it kept updating my location. But at least it wasn't in tweets, it was changing my location in my settings. <br><br>There are ways this could be useful, as I said re SXSW but other ways in which it could be damaging. What I do like about Google's offer vs loopt and others is how much control you have over privacy settings.<br><br>I just started tinkering with it last night after i got my Google over-the-air update, and I gotta say, I'm not mad at it.

How cool would it be to be taking a taxi in NYC, check your phone and see your friends are in a bar just up the street, stop in and join them! Sweet<br><br>I think you can cloak your location if you do not want others to see your location, i.e.. if you are studying for an exam or on a date with someone else! Bad!

I figure someone would come out with this technology for consumer use rather than tap around it with the many GPS products. They are comfortable enough to just straight say tracking...device.
