MeHere

The past few nights I've been a bit restless, which is good as generally it gives me ideas to execute during the day. So now I've made a followup to MovinGmap called MeHere.

MeHere is open - you can connect Google Earth to it and follow yourself around there, and you can have your friends connect to you and you connect to your friends so you can all see each other running around within Google Earth in realtime. It also runs nicely in the background and offers up data in other formats so you could write Greasemonkey scripts to integrate it with any other online or offline location-based application.

Or you could just use it as a GPS tracker for Google Maps.

PS I did have even bigger plans for MeHere, and those may still be coming - I just thought I'd throw this out there.

PPS As I'm yet to actually start at Google (hurry up Visa), this has nothing to do with them.

Update: The site now has an example greasemonkey script showing how to connect to MeHere and do stuff with it (in this case, adding a 'show stuff near me' link to GeoURL). More to come!
