I recently became aware of a service called Brightkite. It seems to be relatively similar to Loopt but the interface and mobile options are better planned out. The other bonus I found was that Verizon is not charging to use it, yet.
For those not familiar with Brightkite (and Loopt), they provide location aware community services [...]

Web based communities are a powerful force on the internet these days. The war between Facebook and Myspace is one of users, advertising, financial backers and fanboy attitudes.

Those of you who know me are well aware I go through more phones than most people. I either find myself working them to death (quite literally in a few cases) or not being satisfied with the features on the device.
