Verizon Debuts Loopt Service To Track Friends, Pics By GPS

Loopt for Verizon mobile phones.

Verizon Wireless is getting in on the friend-tracking game, offering a $3.99 per month service for its GPS-capable phones that allows a user to note the location of a friend or where a picture was taken.

The service, called Loopt, allows people to share their location with anyone in their contact list or in their AOL Instant Messenger list.

Privacy controls are in place so each user adjust security settings. That way you can keep your location private, an important feature in any social network or shared service application where personal information is involved.

Sprint Nextel and its Boost Mobile brand have already included Loopt into its GPS-enabled phones. Helio provides a service that is similar to Loopt. Other wireless carriers have safety plans that allow parents to track where their kids are located.
