Loopt is a cool mobile based friend locator website. It uses GPS to show its users the location of friends by updating maps on mobile handset; at first glance you may only think it would be useful for friend tracking but let's see if I can change your position.
- <!--[if !supportLists]-->Do you have services staff making desk side calls? At a click of a button you can see who is where without calling and disturbing them and route them to the next closest (or important) service call (think of the gas you will save)
- <!--[if !supportLists]-->How about salespeople? Are they in customer meetings? A quick check on Loopt will reveal their location, you can route them to their next appointment or see if they are doing "fake Fridays" (see earlier blog this month) and need to be re-motivated to stay on the road
- <!--[if !supportLists]-->Customer coming to your site, or at an event in town? You might be able to meet up if you knew how close they were to where you are
- <!--[if !supportLists]--><!--[endif]-->Remember with most business people mobile out of the office 22% of every week and self employed folks on the road 42% of the time location matters!
