"This is just the first step in a Google location-sharing API and
Apps. Latitude will end up in a place very similar to FireEagle,
Yahoo's location broker (Radar post). Latitude is significant not
just because it comes from Google, but because of its wide reach.
Google has clients available for almost every mobile platform and
many browsers. People just want a service like Latitude to work and
currently Google is one of the only companies that can deliver
(though I am sure Facebook and MySpace are working on something
internally)."
Also please note that my service http://mapme.at can accept your
Latitude location, store the history for you and can pass it on to
Fire Eagle as well. My service is probably as doomed as Fire Eagle but
I'll take my chances for now ;-)
