Did you leave early last Friday to get your Iphone? Uh-huh~ So now you have you iPhone in hand, and finally got it activated, let's put some cool apps on it.Loopt provides a cellphone-based GPS sharing system with the goal of providing an innovative social mapping tool that allows friends to visualize one another using their cell phones and share information about interesting places.
Loopt's geosocial networking services show users where friends are located and what they are doing via detailed, interactive maps on their mobile phones. Loopt helps friends connect on the fly and navigate their social lives by orienting them to people, places, and events. Users can also share location updates, geo-tagged photos, and comments with friends in their mobile address book or on online social networks, communities, and blogs.
Loopt was designed with user privacy at its core and offers a variety of effective and intuitive privacy controls.
Their latest release for the iPhone integrates microblogging and reviews from Yelp into its interface.
Beside iPhone, Loopt also works on Blackberry too!

Loopt has always been one of my favorite apps for the iPhone! It's a genius idea. I would imagine that parents can sneak it on to their kid's iPhones and know where they are at all times.
