I like Web 2.0 but this is beyond intrusive. Google Latitude.

I can’t get down with Google Latitude.

But why? You ask. You so readily open your life up already. Why not add another aspect to this blogging/twitter/tumblr/brightkite madness?

I have to tell you the truth. Cuz I lie. A lot.

Sometimes I’ll be at home cuz I don’t want to hang out but I told you my mom broke her ankle. Sometimes I’ll be out drunk when I said I’m tending to my sick aunt. Sometimes I just don’t want to deal with you so I tell you I’m in Alaska.

Google latitude puts a GPS on your phone and laptop. It’s another feature of google maps. You can be a total stalker and just monitor your friend/lovers/sisters/brothers whereabouts. all damn day. I mean, in theory it’s a nice way to see where I am if I get kidnapped of course. But hey. Is it worth the price of privacy?

GL lets you “manually” set a location also. But then again what’s the point? So I can use stupid technology to add another dimension to my lying?

Lying is getting way too hard.

Thank you google. But I don’t think I’ll hop on the wagon with this one.
