The very popular social networking application, Loopt has officially made its way to the Android Market. This is one application that we have been waiting for since the launch on the T-Mobile G1. Now you can spy on all of your friend and see where they are and what they are up to without having to ask.
Loopt allows you to keep track of your friends, where they are and what they are doing. You can share you location between carriers with Loopt users on AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, Boost, MetroPCS and T-Mobile. Loopt is available on over 100 handsets including the iPhone and BlackBerry so all your friends can stay connected.
“From the start, our goal has been to build a ubiquitous interoperable network in which customers don’t have to worry about who has what provider or mobile device,” said Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of Loopt. “
Loopt for Android will offer all of the current core features you would expect to find in other versions, including background location updating which enables users to receive alerts when a friend is nearby. You can also view your friend’s location in satellite view or map mode as well as monitor traffic delays. Loopt also allows you to share you information with social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter or personal blogs and Web sites.
so is there a direct site for android? or a downloadfile?
I love how you do not offer any other sources other than your own site, but you say you were reading on someone else's blog.
Was going to say hello, but decided to get a beer instead
UPDATE: If you're reading this from your G1, you can just click below to download Loopt onto your G1.

1. Only add friends to Loopt who are really your good friends.
Loopt is meant to be used with good and trusted friends. Who's a really good friend? Ultimately, that's up to you to decide, but here are a few questions to ask yourself about potential Loopt friends.
- Do you have their phone number?
- Do you know where they live and where they grew up?
- Would you loan them your car?
- Would you give them your keys to feed your dog or water your plants?
- Would you feel comfortable knocking on their door just to say 'hi'?
2. Confirm the phone numbers from your invites.Always double-check that an invite was sent from your friend's real phone number. If it's a web invite, check that the phone number on the invite matches your friend's number.
3. Know who you are sharing location with.
Use your location information responsibly. Loopt is built to let you control when and with whom you share or hide your location. You can always control who can find you, and who can see the location of your journal entries. You can do this from the web or the mobile app.
4. Report inappropriate behavior and offensive content.
Help us keep Loopt fun! We've built Loopt to encourage safe behavior from its members, but unfortunately some members may still find ways to abuse the service. If you find material that is offensive or find that a member of the service is acting inappropriately, please let us know using the Report Abuse page.
5. Some tips while using Mix on your iPhone.
Don't know what Loopt Mix is?
- Don't put your contact information in your public profile (full name, email, phone #, home address, etc.).
- Don't believe everything in a profile. Users are able to freely edit their name, photos, interests and affiliated groups.
- Use good judgment when sharing your full name, email address or phone # with another Mix user in emails or when meeting in person. Act as you would with any other stranger. Don't share information until you can trust them.
- When meeting up with another Mix user, always meet in a public space with people around. Bring a friend or at least let a friend know where you're going.
- If another Mix user is acting improperly or suspiciously, block the user and report the abuse case. Do not exchange emails with them for fun.
Have fun and thanks for keeping our Loopt community fun and safe!I found it that way.
