We all love Google for offering a plethora of AMAZING free products and services, we recently switched our email system over to a Google Apps account and we’re loving it!

Just when we think Google has done it all, they roll out a new series of helpful tools to manage our professional and social lives. Many of us have heard of (or have an account with) FourSquare, but how many of us have heard of or utilize Google Latitude? The app can be accessed from any smart phone or computer and allows you to “check in“, gain status and unlock offers. Sounds like FourSquare may be in trouble!

Google Latitude lets you connect and share with your friends, track your status progress and unlock offers based on your current status level.
