Finding your friends with Google Latitude

share status messages with each other. In Latitude you can also send messages and 
emails, make phone calls, and get directions to your friends’ locations. 

Your location is not shared automatically. You must join Latitude and then invite your 
friends to view your location, or accept invitations from your friends.
