Why I Like Google Latitude

Google Latitude’s gotten its share of criticism lately about the potential invasion of privacy it elicits; I don’t see what the problem is, you have the option to “hide your location” (see below). But I’ve found Google latitude uber-cool and uber useful – here’s 3 ways:

- Your family can keep in touch with you. This is not a bad thing, if they want to know how soon you’ll be home for dinner, or where is daddy, it’s getting late.
- You might welcome the so-called “invasion of privacy”. For people in my line of work I like the fact that I am accountable to many eyes. So there’s never any suspicion that I’m at a questionable place doing questionable dealings, something that seems to happen to pastors and ministers more and more often these days.
- I suggest Google Latitude somehow co-communicate with Twitter. (or vice-versa) It’s a way to connect micro-blogging to GPS tracking, a way to stay connected so that we can share with the world where we are and what we’re doing where we are. Uber-cool.
But I’m sure it has its detractors.
Do u like Latitude or not and why?
