See where your friends are with Google Latitude
what makes you think Google Latitude wont meet the same barrier to reach critical mass for this application?
For example as it is, it would be useless for ages 13-25.

There are a lot more people with google accounts then the competition. People seem to also trust google more then a random startup.

A valid point. Most Google products never reach critical mass. But for a device like the iphone you are already using google maps. If its integrated directly into that, the barrier to entry is nothing.
