I have been using Google Latitude for a while now, and although a little creepy, I love it. I have Google Maps version 3.0.1 installed on my BlackBerry (which is constantly pinging my location via GPRS) and the Goggle Latitude widget on my iGoogle.
On a personal level it can appear to be a little 'Big Brother' ish. But the business potentials are huge and the quirky potentials are vast as demonstrated here in this video. I thought of suggesting a similar experiment for one of our local digital/ social meet ups (http://www.northerndigitals.com/ or http://geekup.org/) here in Manchester, UK.

I've been all over podcasts recently, signing up to some really useful feeds/ cast in iTunes. I never really got into 'digg nation' but yesterday i watched a full episode (#186). The full episodes are 40-50 minutes long, which is a big investment in time and they only got to talk about 6-8 diggs. Around digg discussions there is a lot of padding and toilet humor, which i actually liked (dam it).
iPhone Killer!?
The episode includes discussions around the preview of the 'palm pre'. Start >> 6:00 minutes. Looks cool, this is relevant in the office right now as i seem to be the only one without an iPhone. I'm still on a sucky BlackBerry, which i like but i need to upgrade my model.
Funniest part of this episode was Alex Albrecht's comments on Apples domination of mobile. Start >> 12:00 - 13:00 minutes
