Google Stalker?



At first glance Google Latitude seems like a really neat idea. However, when you really think about it, it makes you wonder, "is this really needed?" Google Latitude allows you to see where your friends are on a map that can be displayed on your cell phone or computer. It will only work if your friend gives you permission to do this. While I think that in some cases, such as parents wanting to keep tabs on their teenage children, this idea isn't such a bad one. I have to say though, it does seem a little stalker like. If you really want to know where someone is, why not just call them? If Google Latitude gains enough popularity there is going to be a whole generation of kids growing up using this technology. I don't really know what will happen with Google Latitude, but I'm very interested in seeing what happens with it. Only time will tell.
