This is an application/service that you install on an Android OS phone. You register the phone with the site, and if your phone becomes lost or stolen, you can go to the site to track down or lock down the phone. I installed the application on my G1, then logged onto the site and had it trace my phone's location. According to testimonials, the application even works if someone takes out the SIM card from the phone.

Anyone seen this, heard about it, tried it, interested in it?

While definitely cool, and useful...

I can't help but think that after you do so, Google ads start mysteriously just happening to be for things like the Sunday dinner specials at the restaurant right next to your church, or the game store you drive past on your way to work.

=P

Complete with a turn by turn maps from your house, your friends and families houses, and from your office to boot.

Oh, and don't be surprised if your friends/family get 'gift suggestion' spam based on your online shopping habits right before your birthday!.
