Google Latitude

Google Latitude, functionally similar to afore-mentioned Fire Eagle, allows computer and mobile phone users to upload and share (or hide) location updates manually or automatically—which are plotted on a Google Map. Latitude for iPhone is "coming soon". No word yet on integration with the Google Maps API. Rumour has it that location-awareness is coming to Mac OSX 10.6—potential for another Apple-Google partnership?

    Interesting... Tweetie already has thins location aware "nearby" thingy - next step tweeting to GMaps overlays?!

    Infact, as Tweetie can send locations, I wonder if the Twitter feed can do this already. (Opens Textpattern for a play!)

    ...nope.

    Hmm... Twitter location updates + Google Maps mash-up... certainly a few examples I note with a quick search (e.g. here).

    We're getting there... GeoTweet

    ...more of the same old xml driven stuff.

Something to say?
