Know Your Whereabouts with Google’s Near Me Now
Have you stood outside the restaurant and thought whether to go inside? Google solves this problem very easily. It has come out with yet another mind bobbling feature with Andriods and the iPhone. This Feature is known as ‘Near Me Now’.
Functionality of Near Me Now
When you open google.com your location turn into a search query automatically. This enables you to Google search and find out restaurants, coffee shops, ATM’s, banks and bars near your obtained location.
There also is an Option called ‘Explore right here’, this reveals the important places near your obtained location. This feature also provides the rating for restaurants,coffee shop and bars with distance from your present location. For showing this result Google uses customer review sites like Foursquare, Yelp and LBS(Location Based Services) application like Twitter, Facebook Status Updates and Loopt.
Release
This feature is currently available in the United States of America only. As for the Indians we still stay deprived of the pleasure of using this feature with no prospects of it releasing in the near future.

This is pretty cool, but don’t a lot of other LBS apps on the market already do this?
Just started Rummbling (http://www.rummble.com) on my Android phone and with their check-in function you can tell your friends exactly where you are when you arrive – you can also see what activity is going on in any area ’round the world via their datamining in tweets and check-ins. I’m liking it.. and, it reminds me a lot less of a stalking tool than some other apps out there!
