Sniffu.com – Social Network Integrated Friend Finder

Sniff is an application that can be installed on mobile phones and social-networking sites such as Facebook, providing users with a detailed map of their friends’.

Sniff can pinpoint a friend or member of your network within about 100m of their actual location. Sniff technology is similar to that used by the police and security services to trace the terrorists and missing children’s through their mobile phones. The location of the hand set can be triangulated using nearby mobile-phone masts and base stations to give an accurate sense of where person is.

Whenever you want to check the whereabouts, simply text the word sniff followed by the person’s name to a special SMS short code at a cost of 50p/message. You will then get a map link of their whereabouts that can be viewed on your mobile phones or computer.

Sniff lets you block individual friends and you can also make yourself invisible any time you like. You can also set up an alert system so that you can be warned whenever someone decided to sniff your location.

This service is more useful to the one who are losing their mobile phones; you can simply sniff your own device to get a rough fix on its location.
Sniff is a close network where location information can be shared with special people such as people who you invite as your friend, or who you accept a Sniff invitation from. It all depends on your decision whom to show your Sniff location.
