Latitude is the gateway to web 3.0

This week has been my baptism in the next phase of social networks and what we could call web 3.0. I am referring to the first real attempts to let people share their location. I have now tried latitude from Google, but I also have registered in trypit.com, dopplr.com, and finally http://MostTraveledPeople.com. Latitude is an interesting experiment. To me is like adding super powers, or acquiring a new sense that allows us to know who is nearby. It goes beyond our sight, smell or ears. My first experience has showed that most people I know are so curious that dont mind too much to share their location despite the fact that is dropping the level of privacy.
