Looking forward to the Windows Mobile version of Glympse.

I can't see this being a successful standalone service ... seems more like a feature that could be implemented in existing LBS systems ...

Hi Robert,
We're getting ready to release a new browser plug-in for Blackberry and Windows Mobile Smartphones. With it you will now be able to integrate GPS, Cell tower id etc directly into the browser. This information can then be shared (if you choose) with ANY web server. For Windows Mobile all you will need is a few lines of JavaScript in your web page and you can access any device side API. NO mobile programming is required to use the solution and it will come with support to transmit GPS location data to Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL, Yellow Pages, and True Local (search engine out of Canada). Privacy is now integrated into browser via a new menu. Simply pick the data you wish to share. The web service simply reads the data off the headers and can now mash that out to ANY web service with an API.

Aren't you feeling that you expose your privacy too much to the WWW (wild wild world) with this Web application software. I mean...hm... Many people know you from this site, but I doubt you know every one of your readers. In addition, I don't think these Web applications are really useful to get your tasks done, except if you want to track your teenage daughter's or your wife's whereabout, that is.

That is scary. These Web applications can actually give their users trouble if some lunatic readers track where you are.

I'd try to control it by area as well as people. For instance, I'd block public from knowing my location when I'm at home. But allow it to know the rest of my travels.

I subscribe to your blog feed using Google Reader, which I read using the Google Chrome browser. For the last few weeks, when clicked on any of your stories to see them on your blog, all I see is a 404 error and when I go back to your home page, I see nothing in the blog since "The neat thing about blogging desing..." from April 29.
I finally took the time to visit your site using Firefox and, lo and behold, I can see everything. You might want to have your site design guy look into why your blog is giving Google Chrome users the proverbial finger...

I''m tempted to use it to keep tabs on my 14 year old. This really opens up a whole new world of parent involvement and trust. Anyone see a book here?

Funny that you needed 300 friends to crash Latitude. I needed three on my BlackBerry Curve! I'm finding mobile apps drain batteries & crash phones.

Robert,
Like you I love location based services... However up until today they are still to much of a real hassle to use. They aren't integrated with each other well enough... I register trips in Dopplr, Integrate this with FireEagle,but Google Latitude doesn't support this yet... Further.. checking in, like BrightKite is too much work and GPS doesn't work indoors.. It's getting better all the time, but we still have a long way to go...

It's cool that you like sharing your position. I'm an iPhone user and I've been experimentating to share my location with the wizi app for iphone (currently on closed beta -I'm a beta tester and friend of the wizi founders-, and releasing soon in the following months for the iphone). I'd like to try Glympse for iphone once it's available though.
If I move with the app turned on, the viewer can refresh my position, live. It's pretty cool! I'd love to have you take a try on wizi. Please say something if you're curious.
Cheers,
Guillaume Riflet

I was thinking the exact same thing when I was reading about Glympse yesterday. All Google needs to do is add a temporary share location feature and I think it could solve the problem.

I'm interested in Location based services and would like to check out Glympse when it comes to the iPhone. The services have potential but I think it will be when Facebook enter the space that LBS will really generate interest!

I always thought that people are scared of the "big brother" watching them, and then you come and say that it's cool... I understand why people would want to know everything about you, but why do you want to share this information with the world???

Ever since i heard about Glympse launching on may 19th, i have used and it was a great experience. I have used Twitter for a lot of time now. I think Glympse is also going to emerge as a good way of getting social traffic to your sites. I do think that Glympse is going to do better than Latitude. Using latitude, I have been able to let my friends know where i am during exams and interviews i take. Glympse is really a whole great new world!

This is complete life virtualization. I think these tools may be very useful and more of the times are going to boost our personal productivity. But who will save us from a negligent or mass-damaging use of that technologies?

Glympse is fantastic! Will it be part of Google's Wave? Can't wait for someone to send me a Glympse while they are enjoying that elusive new on-the-edge Craft Beer.

"...That brings me to Glympse, which is launching this morning at the Where 2.0 Conference. Glympse goes the other way to solve that privacy problem: they put a time limit on it. So, now, you can send your boss, or even the public, a glimpse into your life and let people track you.
There’s a few things that are better about that approach. First, you don’t need to have Glympse on your PC to watch me drive toward your house (to really use Google Latitude we both need Latitude running). Second, since you know the Glympse will end in, say, two hours, you don’t get paranoid about privacy issues."
