Ever wanted to feel like you were part of the NSA?

Now you can keep track of all your friends and they can keep track of you. This service brought to you by your friends over at Google.

Google Latitude

Note for personal use you have to enable it. Pretty sure NSA has free access, permission granted or not. Not that they would have to use Google as an outside client.

And people really worry about having a chip implant.

Have fun.

I just put my bosses cell number in and it won't do anything.
Damn.

This is wrong on so many levels, and it's free! I don't know what google was thinking on this one. It's a total invasion of privacy and should be illiegal, even here in Canada!

Given that most newer phones have GPS tracking that can be turned off, except in the cases of 911 calls, then it is available makes you wonder just how far the granting of permission goes in the Google Latitude.

As for myself, I'll hold out for being able to use the mic and camera functions remotely. I bet they will not call it Google Narc.
