Location, location, location. Between Foursquare, myriad deals apps, Google's Latitude, and all the rest, you've got plenty of ways to tell your friends (or anyone following you on Twitter) where you're going. Of course, oftentimes you don't really want to tell all of your friends where you are, and even then you may only want them to be able to see your whereabouts for a short while. That's where Glympse comes in. The service, which is based entirely around 'sharing your where' with select friends a few hours at a time, has just raised a $7.5 million Series B funding round led by Menlo Ventures and Ignition Partners. So far, the service offers applications for iPhone and Android that let you create 'Glympses', which include a map of your location in real-time. You then share these Glympses with friends via SMS, email, Facebook, or Twitter ?�clicking on the link will take them to a webpage that shows a map with your location updating in real-time (the Facebook widget actually updates directly in the News Feed).
