BuddyPing is one of those services which you look at and think “that’s useful”
So what does it do? It tells you where your friends are by locating their mobile phones.
It tells them where I am. See the BuddyPing widget map over on the bottom right of my blog? Click on dot on the map and it tells you I’m at work. Click on it later and it’ll tell you where I’m spending my evening in a pub somewhere

In their own words:
If you’re out on the town and want to find your friends, use buddyPing and your mobile phone (or the internet) to broadcast your whereabouts and to receive notification of your friends in the same area.
Just log into buddyPing (either via text message or using the “Your Location” feature once you have logged in via the web site) and we will scan your designated local area for friends and notify you of their location. We’ll also notify them of your location so all your friends can find out what you’re up to and where they can join you. This all happens in real time, and will continue until you logout of buddyPing

The number of times I’ve been a few feet away from close friends and only found out about it later are ridiculous - the number of times it must have happened unbeknown to any of us I can’t imagine.

So those that know me sign up and add me Fgaughan

Had forgot to say that BuddyPing only works at the UK thanks for remind me Tony
