| Re: NOT! Just remember Dydion, this technology cuts both ways. Not that I disagree with you, mine has a tendency to not to stay where they said they were going if it gets boring or over sooner than expected.

| said by Dydion  :I would love to track my teen-aged kids when they're out of the house...just to make sure they are where they are SUPPOSED to be...:) I want my kids to respect some boundaries, without having to "monitor" them. Besides, if they know their being monitored do you realize how much crap there going to get into when they know you're not looking. And what happens with they turn 18 at move out? No more safety net...
I want my kids responsible and independent long before I'm not responsible for them. That way I know when they leave their ready.

Why? Are you cheating on your wife?
Unless you were deceiving someone, or doing something bad, I don't see why you would care about people knowing your whereabouts. | |

| We can start... with your cell phone number. You can also post your work address, phone number, and commute times.
We'll also need any kin that you visit at least once a year, their phone numbers and addresses and the schedule of any visits you might be thinking of.
Then post any extracurricular or volunteer activities you might happen to do with all the appropriate contact information.
So we can better track you in your home, we'll need the frequency of your bathroom visits and a log (that would be a REPORT) to insure that you aren't deceiving anyone or doing anything bad. A public IP's web cam would help verify your, uh, report.
After that's complete, we'll work on bedroom and other room monitoring, and interviews with the neighbors.
OK then. Better get to it. We'll figure out what we want to do with your whereabouts after you provide them.

| Re: We can start... My wife always knows where I am, not because she tracks me with a GPS device, but because I tell her. That's right, I know it's an unusual thing these days, but me and my wife have a very strange marriage; it's full of things like trust and communication and all that crap.
Nice try, FiL, but I take my marriage seriously.

| Russia. I think there are some pretty cool location-based services that could be implemented.
IN moscow russia for example, megafon, a cell phone provider there, has a service that will mtach you up with people in the same vicinity who want to hang out, talk, hook up, or whatever.
while there are a some sketchy people, i've met legitimate people using the service. | |

Case in point, once in a while I have someone, (either work or friends), who keeps on calling and asking if am on the way. With this I can tell them to STFU and look at me sitting in traffic on a map.

Err, does anyone know of something similar for windows mobile, (non Java)?

1 edit | Your Never Unconnected Social Network Upon reflection it seems that your is the correct pronoun. The contraction you are (you're) does not make sense. Since this is a possessive pronoun the network belongs to you. | |
