I love wifithankyou.  This is not quite that.  

It's more like a cross between IM and Dodgeball:
http://www.dodgeball.com/social/index.php

It has the immediacy of IM and the location-marking of Dodgeball.  

And it doesn't require user input. Like my @[EMAIL PROTECTED] Windows Messenger, it
tenaciously reaches out for a live connection.  But now when it finds
one , it submits the IP to a node database requesting an Location name.
If there's a match, it shows:

 "[USER] is at [LOCATION], [TIME]"

...or something like that.

There'd need to be a nodedb with a reliable list of IP addresses for its
ESSIDs.  Also, you'd need to figure out where to display the
information.  I like the idea of integrating it into standard IM
clients, but it'd also be cool if it registered you at a central
website.
