Kakiloc, an application that lets you share your current location and mood status with your friends, has relaunched this week. It is in fact very similar to twitter, plus the geolocalization feature. It was designed for instance to let you know if you had friends around the neighborhood, thanks to your mobile phone and a java application:
kakiloc status

New features include a timeline which will give you a graphical representation about you did recently, and also a mobile interface avalaible at m.kakiloc.com. This mobile interface is streamlined, with just one clean page asking your current location and your mood, which will then set you on the map. This was a section I really liked, it’s straightforward, easy-to-use, and might just be the kind of service I will use on the go. It also lets you message your friends, by email, SMS or “kakimessages”, with 25 free messages avalaible each month. For this feature, I would have liked though an option to send both an SMS and email, because you never know if your friend has his mobile phone or is checking his email. Also one killer feature would be to send a message to a group of friends.

On a final note, Martin Dufort also assured me that an iPhone version was coming very soon and that they will be pushing adoption of the mobile interface
