DISQUS

The hard part about making it location aware automatically is dealing with the carriers. The problem isn't technological, it's economic, the carriers want a HUGE split of revenues. Margins on this stuff are iffy to start with, now you give the carriers 40% off the top? You're not making anything.

There's an alternative to dealing with the carriers - why not let the website know where you are in real time by transmitting your GPS coordinates to it. There's an example of this working on our website. Once the web knows where you are, then with "your" permission you can let your friends know where you are.

So you've mentioned the fact that the user has to be on the Boost network in order to use Loopt. True... But not just that - all of the friends that one invites to Loopt have to be on the Boost network too! And how many of those does one have?

Also, with giving away location involuntarily or automatically, the user opens himself to various threats, like stocking...

And lastly, let's not forget about battery life... The phone is going to be dead in a matter of a few hours if ones location is being reported every few minutes...

This is a great web site. I have some great web pages myself if you are interested to share. But I should not go on about my site too much, that is not fair, right?
