#2I wish Google Latitude had the functionality to share the location only for limited time.

#3Pretty useful. Finally I can just send them 1 text w/ my location instead of them reaching out to me all the time of my eta.

#4I'm glad there is still innovation in this space despite how Google Latitude floundered.

#5Maybe I'm unimaginative, but why would I use this? I'd like to see an example or three of why this app is cool. The only thing I can think of is if you're going to go meet someone, but this idea isn't fleshed out on the site.

#6It says it's compatible with all android devices having android 1.6 and above, but prompts my lg p990 having android 2.3 is not compatible while installing!

An example they gave last time: when you're on a multi-car road trip, you can know everyone's location/ETA.
Off the top of my head: event planning. You often dispatch organizers to pick up props/food/whatever and with Moby, you don't have to call and ask where they are.

We built this because we found Glympse's UX was cumbersome and difficult to navigate. Just like how Instagram stripped down features from other photo sharing apps and made a better experience, we iterated a design that was super easy to use especially for drivers who want to share their location quickly.
Moby is also more of an enterprise and API play. We enable developers to easily add real-time location aware features to their applications while we handle the plumbing. If you're interested, check out http://mo.by/developers

#10my first impression: useless.
my second impression, mail a link to someone who wants to know where i am and how long i'm going to wait there. awesome.
i like it. straight to the point and neat. could i have built it myself? definitely. do i want to build it myself? most definitely not.
