Google Latitude for iPhone 2.1 Updated to Provide Check-in Service

Latitude is Google’s response to Foursquare, Gowalla, and Facebook Places: A social location check-in app. As far as I can tell, very few people use it. This is ironic since it is probably descended from the first geo-location social network service I’m aware of: DodgeBall. Google bought DodgeBall and then let it disappear.

Google updated Latitude for iPhone to provide a location check-in feature (v2.1).

Unlike Facebook Places and other geo-location services, Google Latitude by default provides your location regardless of whether or not you identify your current (check-in) location.
