I posted about this yesterday on my Twitter. If you don’t know what Twitter is you really should check it out.

See where you are in relation to your friends

Without going into too much depth (that’s what I do, I pretend like I’m going to explain everything about something, but I don’t because I rarely know enough about anything to going into too much detail) Latitude is like the awesomest stalker-friendly app you can get for your smartphone (sorry iPhones, you’re not supported yet). Basically, you download the Google Maps app for your chosen smartphone, choose “Join Latitude”, add your friends, and then you can see where they are at that exact moment. You can even put in a status, get directions to your friends location, or search for restaurants and/or businesses in the area around your friend. Seems pretty awesome to me. Now if only I had more friends with smartphones…

Of course, I wouldn’t suggest adding your co-workers unless you want them to be able to see that you’re not at work yet when you’re running late and hope no one notices. It’s also a great way to keep tabs on your suspected cheating boyfriend/girlfriend, unless they’re smart enough to hide their location before committing said indiscretions.
