Google Latitude - Locating Friends on Google Maps

Sponsored Links

Google Latitude is now up and running! It allows you to see your friends location (as well as share your location) on Google Maps. You can access it using a mobile phone (but not all) and computer.

With this feature, the privacy of the user is at risk since it broadcasts his/her location. But Google managed to counter this problem by letting the users manually choose to turn it ON or OFF. Basically to turn off or disable the service so that the user can't be located. This service is very useful and helpful especially to parents who wish to keep track of their children right from their computer or phones.

Unfortunately this feature is only available to the US and other countries.
Try it yourself! Here is the link: www.google.com/latitude Enjoy!

Google Internet Bus Project Launches in India

Sponsored Links

Google India's Internet Bus Project have just launched in India. The purpose of this project is to educate and to distribute and spread awareness about the Internet to the people. This is a very excellent idea and very helpful to people especially nowadays that the Internet is widely used but still many people are not aware of it.

"The bus is designed to make a simple introduction to the Internet for a new user. With a focus on the four themes of education, information, communication, and entertainment, the Internet Bus will be loaded with useful and informative content in English and Tamil. We'll showcase how the Internet can make everyday life simple through services like search, email, social networking, maps and others. We strongly believe the Internet is a great equalizing force, and this project represents another way Google is directly engaging with people in India." - Google India

This project would definitely make people aware on how their lives could be made easier with the use of the Internet. How I wish Google will launch this project to all third world countries especially in my home country. ^_^
