Some people may be tempted to lump the new Glympse into the category of “mobile social networks” such as Loopt. And some might see it in the camp of carrier-based mobile family tracking tools, which require a subscription. It has elements of both but sits between those two poles; it’s also free (goodbye family locators).
Glympse is an online and mobile application that allows users to share their location with others for limited durations (minutes or hours), thus eliminating the privacy concern associated with many location-aware social apps. It launches today on the G1 but other smartphone versions are coming very soon.
