imov Messenger Enterprise Edition Offers Location Based Tracking of Peers

It looks like imov Messenger Enterprise edition has potential for some great location based services offerings.

“imov Messenger allows users to share their physical location with other imov Messenger users. With this location information, users can graphically map the current location of other imov Messenger users on their roster. Additional exciting services are planned for upcoming releases of the imov Messenger software.”
