New Cell Phone Service Can Track Your Whereabouts

If you thought cell phones and text messages were the ultimate way to keep track of what your employees, family or friends were up to, you won’t believe this.

A free service for cell phones, called Glympse, can actually track exactly where you are at any moment and shares your location with whomever you choose.

The software from Android Market will show where a cell phone is on a map and allow the cell phone user to share his location by sending a Glympse to a person or group of people. By this winter, it will be available for most phones.

Applications for this software could include tracking your salespeople, making sure your drivers don’t take the long way back to the office, keeping track of your unruly teenager or simply letting your spouse know you’re still at the meeting without having to call, text or e-mail the message. Don’t want to be tracked? Simply shut off the software or the phone itself.
