Pretty sure I won't use it for the simple fact that sometimes I like to get lost...meaning I don't want people to know my whereabouts. ;) I couldn't get w/ Brightkite for the same reason, though I did try it out. Note: I think you may have scared me w/ the "Where you at?" scenario, LOL!

Don't lie. You don't want your game to get broken up. :-)
Seriously, though, we may want to turn this on for SXSW.

LOL, you're funny!!! Truth be told I have ZERO game ;) This would be hot for SxSW and an easy way for us all to find out where the unoffical Black Web 2.0 "crew" is at.

Now we all can be iSPY! I figure someone would come out with this technology for consumer use rather than tap around it with the many GPS products. They are comfortable enough to just straight say tracking...device.

It would be kind of cool for figuring out where your friends are at. How cool would it be to be taking a taxi in NYC, check your phone and see your friends are in a bar just up the street, stop in and join them! Sweet
I think you can cloak your location if you do not want others to see your location, i.e.. if you are studying for an exam or on a date with someone else! Bad!

Services like Latitude will prove very useful at conferences like SXSW. I'm a little afraid of it myself though. I had location turned on in my Twidroid (android twitter client) and didn't realize it and it kept updating my location. But at least it wasn't in tweets, it was changing my location in my settings.
There are ways this could be useful, as I said re SXSW but other ways in which it could be damaging. What I do like about Google's offer vs loopt and others is how much control you have over privacy settings.
I just started tinkering with it last night after i got my Google over-the-air update, and I gotta say, I'm not mad at it.

They are trying to kill the game and put playas out of business.
