It is 3 AM and you want to know where your friends are right now? Thanks to Gregor Rothfuss of the Apache Software Foundation for pointing me to Plazes.com. It is free and describes itself as “the first global location-aware interaction and geo-information system, connecting you with the people and Plazes in your area and all over the world. It is the navigation system for your social life.”
You can locate hot spots for WiFi, people with similar interests, friends, or other people and places through a nice UI that features maps with locations. They also have a blog.
Hi --
See http://www.dodgeball.com/social/index.php
I heard a rumor all new cell phones have a GPS mandate by 2007.
Cheers,
John
