Google to track your friends


we all have been through a situation when we anxiously waited to know the whereabouts of our near and dear ones, when they're struck in a jam or aboard a delayed flight. the solution to these worries comes in the form of latitude a software application that many users think is the waxiest amalgamation of navigational technology and social networking. but on the flip side there are others who term it as a possible threat to an individuals privacy. latitude is the latest feature on google maps that can be used both on mobile devices and the Internet. it help the user see the approximate location of his friends and loved ones who have decided to share their location through the application. latitude makes it possible for users to see if their better halves are struck in a traffic jam, notice that a pal has gone abroad or seek solace from the information that a loved one's flight landed safely, despite bad weather.youngsters could decipher the answer to all the speculation by testing the application them selves. but with many firms planning to cash in on the success of latitude by launching similar products, it seems as though getting lost in an unknown place will soon be limited to story books only.
