Once again, the mind-readers at Googleplex have read my thoughts and stolen my ideas.  I just talked about how cool this feature would be with the other Switchyardians last week.

If you use the Internet the same way I do (as a personal storage locker for memories and menial record-keeping), you’ll be pleased to learn that Google has just announced that it’s location-aware web/mobile app, Latitude now includes a feature called “Location History”.  This feature allows a user running Latitude to query its system for any point in time and recall where he or she was on this great big planet of ours.

Obviously, there’s potential for disaster here if some poor unsuspecting user gets their history compromised. Personally, I’ll be waiting for the first time a defendant submits their Google Latitude account as a corroborating alibi.
