Andi Narvaez: Re-learning PR

No joke. The world population is 6,706,993,152 according to a July 2008 estimate. So the iPhone App store hitting one billion downloads is pretty significant, especially considering the fact that the it has only been a little more than two years since the iPhone was first introduced and less than a year since the iPhone 3G and the App Store were launched.

Today was Google’s.

Everywhere I turned, the one thing I kept hearing people talking about was the new Google Latitude feature on mobile Google maps and iGoogle gadgets. The service is available in 27 countries and allows users to let others know where in the world they are located. If you choose to opt-in (because that would be the only way Google could ever get away with this) you can use Latitude to find friends and communicate with them via SMS, Google Talk or simply by dialing their phone number.

My friend told me about this because she new I posted about the same topic earlier.

A friend was at a club and was approached by the proud owner of an iPhone who asked her what her favorite flower was and disappeared after she answered “lilies”. He returned moments later with a sketch of a lily he drew using an application I think might be Sketchinz but I’m not completely sure.

These were his words, “Here is a lily, let me get your e-mail and I’ll send it to you.”
