Did you read the following posts (in chronological order):
http://blog.pierlux.com/2009/01/22/empathy-where-are-you/en/

Not really. But I will investigate on this direction. Furthermore, I
don't know yet what are the services proposed by tangoGPS around
"friends". Currently, my question is: is this service really useful
compared to the service already proposed by empathy? Should we
maintain such service in foxtrotGPS or should we remove it and focus
foxtrotGPS on other direction?
