Drift Surveillance

Matt Jones points to Nokia's Waypoint system. With a snap-on GPRS module, the 5140 phone can save your location, and send it via SMS.

Link the Drift Table to a system like this - with the table receiving location data via SMS at regular intervals - and you have a lovely, low-key tracking system.

Say your beloved is on holiday, and you miss them awfully, a quick reassuring look at the table, and you make a tiny connection with them. I like this sort of vague, peripheral, micro-communication - see also Matt Webb's Glancing application

(Update: more on Glancing)
