As you can tell, I’ve added a “Plazes” plug-in to my blog. This allows you to locate me at any given time… or at least my computer… or at least when I’m online.

All you have to do is “discover” (tell the program the physical address of your location) and if it ever sees you plugged into the same network… it remembers.

Plazes works by fingerprinting a network, not a GPS location. So, my assumption is that if I’m at the campus of UALR it cannot differentiate between the Library or the student center… since it’s the same network… it assumes the same location.

Also, you obviously have to run a small desktop application that returns the network information to plazes.

This is a pretty cool application and just think of all the tracking capabilities.
