Glympse – Share your where

Over the last several weeks, I’ve been testing Glympse.  Glympse is a location based program that currently runs on iPhone, Windows Mobile and Android.  I’ll have to admit it’s one of the coolest location based mobile packages out there.  You send your “Glympse” to family members, coworkers, or friends the next time you are traveling and with no additional software needed by them, they click a web link and it not only sends them your location, but sends them a “moving” tracking link where they can watch your exact location on the map and a GlympseWatch timer to know exactly how much time you’ll take to arrive.

Check out the video.  You really need to see it to understand the cool technology. 

 

 

You can get Glympse from Windows Marketplace, iTunes App Store, or Android Market.  Or, if you have Windows Mobile, you can download from here: http://www.glympse.com/get/winmo.  The next time someone calls, emails or SMS text you and asks “where are you?”, send them a Glympse.  You’ll be glad you did, and so will they.

If you use Twitter or Facebook, you can also follow them here:
