Google Latitude… Now on Orkut! A fun way to share your live location with friends!

I'm sure most of you already know about Google Latitude through an earlier post on Orkut Diary. It's a feature of Google Maps for mobile, as well as an iGoogle gadget, that lets you share your live location with your friends (if you chose to share it with them) and also see their locations (if they choose to share it with you). This fun application is now on Orkut too!

And even better, it comes with some strict ‘privacy features’ which means not every Tom, Dick and Harry will get to see where you are. You never know who’d end up stocking you these days, right? 😛
