It's just parsing web pages to pull out location data, and as with any scraping script, it'll break as soon as one of the sites significantly changes their HTML format. If you e-mail me I'm happy to send you the code, but I don't plan to update it. I haven’t release this particular script.

Should be an easy real-time lookup after getting the location results. Hilary – great app.

Seems like each new social media application, GPS solution, and etc, is just another tool in the stalkers bag! I'm still earning my BSCS (from American Sentinel University: www.americansentinel.edu), but I'm developing a program that would help shield personal information from tools like this. Don't get me wrong- I think they're useful- but in the wrong hands, these types of tools are outright dangerous!

I just tried it out. It gave me my Brightkite location as of 11/4/2008, but not my Dopplr location as of 2/12/2009. Shouldn't it give the most recent location that it finds? Great idea, Hilary.
