Google hits the webspace with a new location-based social networking software. It is ready to use for smartphone users. It will share your location with your friends in Google network.

Google located me in Trivandrum. Here is my screen shot.

Saifudeen Google Latitude

I have located couple of my friends in Flip Media, Trivandrum (Remiz Rahnas and Felix Justus)

You can reach them via SMS, Instant Message or even a phone call. If you have serious concern about your privacy, please stay back from this service.

Can I access it in my moible ? Ofcourse yes, if you are using ..
- Windows mobile
- Most color blackberry
- Symbian S60
- or Android with Google Maps 3.0 or above.

What about my iPhone?
iPhone users will have to wait for some more days. The application is FREE. That doesnt mean your cellular provider will let you walk free. If your data plan is limited, your face will turn red for sure ! Wait for Apple to update the Maps application.

And desktop version ?
- Yes, It has got one!

This is feature is as nice as anything. But privacy is a serious concern for some people. My reply for them i s – Google is not forcing anybody to use their services. It helps you to find your lost friends, school mates whom you were searching for past several years etc..

Suppose, you are planning a trip to Dubai, logon to Google Latitude and see whether you have got any mates there. It’s easy and fun! So keep this limited within your close circle friends and relatives.

Thanks for your time,
Saif
