Google Latitude Goes Desktop
Google have launched Latitude with a desktop iGoogle gadget to help you stay in touch with friends and family that may not have a smartphone. Google learned that a desktop experience is important to you even if you’re already using Latitude on your phone. Today, you can now visit a dedicated site that makes it easier than ever to use Latitude when you’re already on your computer. From the Friends tab, you can:
- See where your friends are on Google Maps
- Add friends and accept sharing requests
- Control your privacy settings
Do more with Latitude
You’ll also now find Latitude and Latitude apps together in one place. After browsing your friends list, go to the History or Apps tabs to turn on optional Latitude apps such as:
- Google Location History (Beta) to see your personal history dashboard
- Google Location Alerts to get nearby friend alerts
- Google Talk Location Status to post your location in your chat status
- Google Public Location Badge to publish your location on your blog or site
