After looking at the GPS history, im now going to look at some of the other websites out there that combine GPS and social networking.
The first website is called "mologogo" - Apparently "mologogo" is a free service that will track you and your friends using dirt-cheap GPS phones and smart phones.

Apparently this service has been around since 2005, however i've never heard of it. The website is very user friendly and i think the creators have created it simply to make money.
The second website is called "ipoki". Ipoki is currently in BETA still but it seems quite cool, like an early version of what i want to do, basically you install the software to your phone and then can share the position with other people. The only downside seems to be that it doesn't offer much in terms of social networking.

The third website seems the most like what i want to create. Its called "bliin" and is a bit more hardware based then what i want to create.

To explain it more i've found this link on the BBC website.
