Google Latitude will be retiring on August 9th
- hardwaresofton 13y agoAnother brilliant move by Google. 1. Funnel every free service to Google+ 2. Obtain facebook levels of information about everything personal (I mean they already have this most likely) 3. More ads, more personalization, more Google+ 4. ??? 5. Profit It's almost like they planned it. And don't get me wrong, I reasonably like Google (at the very least I respect their technical prowess, and at the most think they're pretty hip) -- just really don't know how well they're accomplishing "do no evil"
- cowmix 13y agoLatitude was neglected since day one. It never really work reliably. For MONTHS new signups were fubar'd. The API was aways flakey. The irony is that I hate the surveillance state we now live in yet I wanted to use Latitude desperately. I wanted to give up my privacy and Google didn't seem to care.
