Social networking in the car

This brings a little extra new meaning to the term “social networking”: Honda is adding this social feature to its next-generation GPS in-car navigation system, along with real-time weather reports, the DailyTech.com blog reports. “The SNS [social-networking service] will allow drivers to enter comments about a particular location or point of interest (POI). The information will then be relayed to other club members, and they can see your comments while approaching the destination. With services like this, Helio (MySpace’s social-networking mobile partner), a new cellular service coming called Loopt, and other untethered socializing opps launching all the time, soon we’ll all be socializing in the shower and every other point on Earth (come to think of it, Google Earth will probably soon be in on the act!).
