After Google maps are released, people can share their geographic locations in a completely new way. Previously, this feature was only available through mobile phones or iGoogle gadgets, now, Google's social network orkut has launched Google's utility Google Latitude application, which can be installed on orkut.
With this utility, we can see the geographical location of our friends on orkut and know if your friends are already home. It's easy to track the movements of people you care about.
Of course, when Google Latitude is used, users have absolute control over their privacy. Users can choose to share their geographic information to whom and whether to share the information.
Google acquired the social network Orkut and integrated Gtalk perfectly to display the chat window on the left like Gmail. However, Orkut has not been revived, on the contrary, social networks such as Facebook and Twitter have rapidly emerged. from the current situation, Orkut is still difficult to become their real competitor. At least I think Orkut is really not as useful as Facebook.
