What is Google Latitude?

Google Latitude is a location-aware mobile app developed by Google as a successor to its earlier SMS-based service Dodgeball. Latitude allows a mobile phone user to allow certain people to view their current location

How it Works?
Via their own Google Account, the user's cell phone location is mapped on Google Maps. The user can control the accuracy and details of what each of the other users can see

Founding the Latitude

Latitude was founded in 2000 by New York University students Dennis Crowley and Alex Rainert. The company was acquired by Google in 2005. In April 2007, Crowley and Rainert left Google.

Why I choose Latitude?

Because I think that Latitude is not used in Indonesia but its used in other country so many people in Indonesia dont know why we must use Latitude

Latitude makes our life easier to give information about location and our communication with our friends and family Its just a simple Technology but can be a very important things to us
