Just Because You Can, Should You: Display your public Latitude location on your Google Profile

This comes under the the category of: Just because you can, should you do it? Google’ Latitude service looks like it is descended from the pre-Twitter Dodgeball web service that let people broadcast their location and find other people nearby. Dodgeball was one of several properties Google bought but never made available. Latitude takes advantage of the GPS technology integrated into many phones and auto-broadcasts your location (with some granulatrity that you can control) and, in turn, see where people you know are too.
