This is pretty sweet. It reminds me of Loopt, but with an additional web interface in the case that you’re at your computer and don’t want to deal with your phone keyboard. I love the aspect of sitting in my office and watching my friends move around. Makes me feel like Zeus in Clash of the Titans watching my little pawns move around and suggesting they go to a specific location to meet me for coffee, lunch or a sword fight in the middle of some arena (just found out Hollywood is remaking Clash of the Titans (2010)!!!). Wow, got a little off track there. Download it - it’s free.
