Be my Big Brother
Mapminder is offering a new service that allows people to track the location of others by their mobile phone.
Obviously it's a service you'd want to limit, but I'd be happy to let my friends be able to know where I am. Rather than phoning me to ask why I'm late they'd be able to track me as I arrive late to the cinema...
Oh, one disadvantage - it's expensive. 20p per 'track' plus £2.95 per month and £10 a year. When it hits mass market, then I'll be interested.
