Glympse: Time Limited Location Sharing

If users want more control of their location sharing, three ex-Microsoft folks behind Glympse may have the answer. The app allows for time limited location sharing: from minutes to four hours. After the set time the trackee is no longer tracked. The free service launches on on T-Mobile USA G1 phones, but is planned for iPhone, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile devices.

Great idea; I suspect all other location sharing services will add it.
