Tracking me with Follow Me

Written by: Jonathan Briggs

February 23, 2007 [3968 views]

The following are mobile tracking results from a service called Follow Me which will be demonstrated during today’s session. These notes will allow people who missed the session to view the information that is provided from the service.

For this experiment I asked Follow Me to send me an email with my position every 15 minutes from 0900 as I made my way to work.
