20 Oct 08 Palringo to add live location information
Palringo is pretty known by being a “Mobile Instant Messaging Client” that can either work with cellphones or computers, and their latest feature which will be released on Tuesday is live location information, also known as Palringo Local.
What is the purpose of Palringo Local? As the name suggests, it provides information about the current location of your contacts. In some locations it can even track users down to street level.
Scenarios in which Live Location can be used:
- your date is late and you want to know where he/she exactly is
- track down the unpunctual player of your soccer game to see how much time you’ll have to wait
- use your imagination to come up with more
No need to worry about privacy issues like the scandal of Google shared posts at Google Reader, the Palringo Local only works by opting in.
Even opted in, users retain control over which contacts can see their location. Location may also be set manually.
PS – Palringo supports MSN, Yahoo Chat, AIM, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber, and other messengers.
