Only Network

I’m playing with a new location-based social network called Locaccino. Here’s how it describes itself:

Locaccino is the only location-sharing system that gives you precision control over who can see your location. While most location-based systems only allow you to list which of your contacts should or shouldn’t be able to see your location, our privacy settings allow you to create rules as simple or complex as you want them to be!

Our technology allows you to easily define the times when you want to share your locations. Locaccino lets you create groups for your friends to simplify your location preferences. With Locaccino, allowing your co-workers to see your location from 8AM – 5PM is a snap.

Locaccino also allows you to specify where you can be located. Using a Google maps interface, you can define regions where you do and don’t want other people to be able to find you.

Sounds pretty cool, doesn’t it? I like the emphasis on privacy above all else, after all, you wouldn’t want your boss to know you’re shopping for landscape lighting when you’re supposed to be at work, now, would you?
