I’m not so sure that using Fring is a good idea if you want any kind of privacy. While Fring’s privacy settings on the handset require enable you to switch the fringME! location feature on or off this whole idea of tracing someone’s movements is getting a little extreme. Since a lot of people pass phones around o show off their "toys" one moment you may be where you want to be, but don’t want anyone to know, and the next you will be tracked unknowingly when someone "configures" your phone.

In the end I wish these "tracking" technologies were like the 10 second beep when a call is being recorded. Let the user know its working when it starts and then every few minutes. You’d be amazed what something like that will stop.
