I'm not affiliated at all with this guy or product, but I stumbled upon it and have used it with great success on my WM 6.1 phone. http://www.luisespinosa.com/trackme_e...
I use it w/my GPS. It writes KML files and uploads them to Google, where I can then track my movements nearly Live. It has an option to look for 'friends' but I assume those are just people that use the service. Where I live, there are never any. But if this guy can schelp together something like this, I assume BrightKite can out-do this. Real-time /semi realtime tracking of friends etc. Every location (address etc) can be converted to GPS coordinates.. and vice versa. This is more like what I thought/hoped BrightKite would be about. -

Even without GPS you should be able to do some rough location finding using mobile phone masts. In fact I assumed that feature was the core of the service!
Plus you should say up front which countries this feature covers when it is implemented. -
