Why can't I click on Sam's name and see everything he has broadcast? And clicking on the 'Cupertino, CA' link doesn't seem to do anything.


I'm actually really surprised that Loopt isn't more open with it's data, or doesn't utilize their website more.

17k monthy people isn't too many. Odd really.


Why would people be accessing loopt from anything other than a mobile browser, which I'm assuming quantcast doesn't track?


World Wide Steve Jobs Domination?


What does that mean?


What would Steve Jobs Do?


It's a play on the expression "WWJD", "What would Jesus do".


sama is at Infinite Loop right now? Cue the speculation about Apple buying Loopt or Loopt receiving special treatment on the iPhone.


That is already public information. Backgrounding is coming to loopt. He presented at WWDC, or some other apple event, right?

well, sort of. the way this particular type of 'backgrounding' was reported to work, at&t would be keeping track of the user's position, not apple or the iphone itself. it sounded to me like it won't require any changes to the iphone os for this.


That's pretty funny. For many years I've kept a (mental) Post-It note on my electronics bench with "WWWD?" written on it.
