Microsoft has just launched Beta version of its new Glympse application. Glympse allows you to share your location with anyone for a specified amount of time. Although its not being used as such now, it has some law enforcement applications, such as letting a stranded motorist know how long a patrol car will take to get to them, or letting a crime victim know that police are on their way and how soon they will be there. Check out the rather cheesy video below for a more details explanation of how it works, or visit Glympse.com for more details.
