If you use Facebook you are presumably no stranger to having your personal details plastered all over the internet, so why not take it a step further and start telling all your FB ‘friends’ exactly where you are at all times?
FindMe lets you do just that. Using as similar cell-tower triangulation technique to Google Maps for Mobile, FindMe lets you give labels to physical locations like ‘Work’, ‘Dave’s House’ or ‘Tescos’. Whenever you (or rather, your phone) go back to those places, FindMe will quietly update your Facebook status line with an appropriate message.
For you non-Facebookers, a Status Line is a one-line descripton of what you are up to, e.g. “Stuart is listening to La Traviata and savouring a vintage port” or, more likely, “Stuart is in Tescos”.
Should you want to stop telling MI5 your exact whereabouts for a while, you can ‘Go Dark’ (e.g. stop FindMe updating for a bit).
FindMe is freeware, available for Blackberry and Windows Mobile.
