what makes you think Google Latitude wont meet the same barrier to reach critical mass for this application?

For example as it is, it would be useless for ages 13-25.

There are a lot more people with google accounts then the competition. People seem to also trust google more then a random startup.

A valid point. Most Google products never reach critical mass. But for a device like the iphone you are already using google maps. If its integrated directly into that, the barrier to entry is nothing.
