Latitude has been released today by the search engine company. Part of Google Maps for Mobile, this service will users share their location on maps, as well as see where their contacts.
course, when someone as powerful as Google introduced something, immediately raised doubts and fears about privacy. But if anything has become clear is that we will not be short of options in deciding when, where, how and with whom we share our location. Google
Latitude offers the possibility to decide whether to show the exact location in which we find ourselves, or just the city or village. O anything, of course. Google can let our location Latitude detected by itself, or what we can do it manually. What
your contacts will see on the maps will be a balloon tip with the image in your profile indicating your location on Google maps. And an interesting detail is that of the ways to contact you, because when you click on your image you may send an SMS, instant message, email or initiate a phone call.
Although an application of net roaming profile, Google Latitude can be used from a desktop or laptop computer via iGoogle, and use this link so you can add.
The first experiments of this type, using the Google Geolocation API, came from the hand of Gears, a few months ago began offering it in a their latest updates. The picture opens with Google Latitude is wide and looks very interesting from the point of view, because if anything is clear leaders is how to provide advertisements on the web. And the possibilities that this new service in this respect seem almost endless.
What's more, is that Google probably Latitude is Google's first step toward developing a large network whose implications could be enormous. Here, not only for you to contact the way you do on Facebook, but also could make contact from the place where you are. So, for instance, could see a list of contacts or people who share your interests and is in the same bar or the same film that you just entered. Not you, but I think with Google mobile applications Latitude give the first indication that soon far exceed those of desktop functionality and versatility.
