Social Marketing @ Century 21 Award: Hot App Alert: Glympse

Glympse - Share Your Where

Ever play the "How long until you get here?" game? Ever sit and wonder if your kids are almost home from school? Ever have a friend who is either habitually late or wishy-washy with plans and you don't want to wait for them before heading to the next spot? If any of these scenarios sounds familiar, I guarantee that you will love this app!

What I do in 140 or less:

Glympse allows you to safely share your real-time location with one or several people and for a specific amount of time.

Find me on:

Android, iPhone, WinPhone 7 and Blackberry
Get it at Glympse.com or in your phone's app market.

Send a Glympse to one or several people and determine how long your location is available for (up to 4 hours)
You are able to see who has looked at your Glympse
The recipient doesn't need to install an app, only to click on the link that they receive (via text, email, Facebook or Twitter) to follow your travel in their browser
