If you would rather display your location information to friends in your town than type out where you are, Palringo IM's new location-finding feature will appeal to you. Palringo Local, as the new feature is called, released on Tuesday in an automatic update for the Windows Mobile application. The location-aware feature is strictly opt-in. Like most apps of this ilk, its controls allow you to go offline at will and to set limits on who can and can't see you. If Palringo Local can't find you, or miscalculates, you can always set your location yourself. The location feature is scheduled to come to Palringo's other mobile platforms by the year's end.

Colleen Bosler prepays for a hotel at a ski resort during Christmas. But she misses her plane, forcing her to reschedule. The resort offers her credit, but she has to cancel her make-up vacation, too. The hotel is giving her until May to use the credit, or it will expire. Is that fair?

Google's My Location technology is cool. When I'm using my iPhone, I just hit a button and it gets a pretty close assessment of where I am, using cell triangulation (yes, I still have a first gen iPhone). Now, Google is outfitting My Location with the ability to use WiFi access points in determining location. The feature is also included on the Gears Geolocation API. Blackberry users can download the newest version of Maps for Mobile to access this feature. Other mobile devices will get the feature soon.

Stylish and poorly financed Brooklynites, rejoice! Swedish retailer H&M has officially signed a 15-year lease at Al Laboz’s 497 Fulton Street, in the Fulton Mall. The sizable, 29,600-square-foot store, between Hoyt and Bridge streets, will be H&M’s first street location in the outer borough, and Brooklyn’s second location (the other is in the Kings Plaza mall). “H&M’s commitment is a testament to Downtown Brooklyn’s resurgence,” Mr. Laboz, who’s also chairman of the Fulton Street Mall Improvement Association, said in a statement. Cushman & Wakefield’s Robert Gibson, Thomas Citron and Molly Beal represented H&M in the transaction. Sadly, thanks to a planned reconstruction of the building, H&M won’t open its doors until the end of 2010. drubinstein@observer.com readmore
