Subject: Re: OT: question about real-time location-sensitive message broadcasts
Google (sadly, always) is likely suited to this, as it's devices check
in almost constantly where you're at depending on the mode. Both app's
can get this locally, or their app services follow you as well with api
access. I have google glasses I've been doing some debugging, and they
check in probably at least every 5 min, and I'd assume the phones do as
well. Never really realized this before, but seems the best way to
track anyone. Good enough for the government...

That would be an endpoint, talking some kind of rest or js-ish protocol
with google, probably with an amqp backend of some flavor tracking the
tasks in a|many state machine for this and other services you might
notify into, tracking responses or other metrics.
