Google Latitude

You know how Google Latitude works on your iPhone? Yap, you need to update your location manually via Safari, which is kinda, sorta sucky, considering there’s a GPS built inside your beloved 3G(S) device. Not any more, thanks to developer Nat Friedman, who made a script called Playnice that automatically updates your location using information from MobileMe. Unfortunately, and as expected from my last sentence, a MobileMe account is required for this to work, but if you’re really into iPhone and sharing your location, that shouldn’t come as a problem… Additional details can be found from this page. Personally, I don’t like sharing that much, but hey, it’s just me. ;)

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
