Using Google Latitude For Life Streaming

If you define life streaming as a way to constantly communicate your activies using the internet then we need to start thinking more boradly than simply blogging (in all it’s various forms).

One possible consideration could be loosely-termed “geostreaming” - the ability with today’s modern technology to communicate not just what you’re doing but also where you are.

And Google’s recently-released free tool called [link!]Latitude is a perfect example of just such a technology.

Google Latitude is a small application that you download onto your cell phone and then allows your friends to see where you are at any point in time - either online or on their own cell phone - using Google Maps as a reference.

Fortunately, for those with privacy concerns, you are in complete control of who sees your feed. Unlike a blog where it is very difficult to block viewers, or Twitter where it is possible but rather frustratingly slow, with Latitude it couldn’t be much simpler. You decide exactly who can access that information and can change it at any point in time.

So why not take your life streaming to the next stage and get geostreaming too
