I would think that facebook (and their mobile apps) are a bigger threat than google. They could add a 'share my location with friends' feature that would be competitive.
Loopt has lots of users, especially through the carriers. But Facebook has the most popular free iphone app and a ridiculous number of users already interconnected.
It's stupid to say Latitude is the threat, considering the botched purchase of Dodgeball.
Articles like this are annoying when they are so easy to take apart.

Soon we'll see posts about sama eating breakfast (http://paulgrahamatebreakfast.infogami.com/ )
In all seriousness though, glad to see Loopt is doing so well.
