A company called Glympse, Inc. launched a mobile phone app allowing users to share their location and provide a GPS-tracking map to a select group of people for a certain period of time.

For example, when Godot is running he late, he could send word and interactive Google Map application showing where he is, how fast he’s traveling, and what time he expects to arrive. Those waiting for Godot could know he’ll be there in about 10 minutes and they should just get started without him.

Available on T-Mobile G1 phones at launch,

Here's a fun YouTube video demonstrating Glympse with, erm, hand people.
