I mentioned in a previous post on your blog (this space is more appropriate given the topic) about SquareLoop and Sprint teaming up. SquareLoop provides geotargeting and alerting so that text messages can be sent based on the geographic location of your phone. This can help coordinate first responders to schools and the like. It's cool to see this technology applied on a social scale allowing you to locate friends. I've set up an account on my own to test it out... let's see if my wife buys in to my experiment as she wanders down to Mexico and back this week. Cool stuff, Geoff.
