If you take your BackBerry's GPS tracker and bless it with a social networking application, what you get is a geo-social experience that enhances connectedness while on the move.

Such is the promise of BlackLine GPS - a location-based services company that today announced its release of a free geo-social networking platform for GPS-enabled BlackBerry smartphones. Dubbed Blip, the application gives users the option to share their location with others, as well as track speed and direction of other Blip users within their social circle.

The company says that Blip users are guaranteed complete privacy and control over who has access to their positioning data. The application is also compatible with the GPS Snitch - BlackLine's wireless vehicle security product that provides remote on-demand tracking and alert capability.
