You make a good point though - Google really should consider allowing people to somehow text there location to Latitude after signing up.. Does Google have a blog we can make these suggestions to?

Privacy IS a setting within Google Latitude, and you can even turn off your location if you like so you essentially go "invisible" to either all friends, or select ones, as outlined in the article. Thanks for the great feedback everyone.
Latitude uses GPS if it is available on your phone, which makes the location reporting far more accurate. In addition to being able to turn of sharing of your position, you can also custom set your position that is shared. Resolution is vague, you can't even be sure if someone is really at that street or the next, or the next one. And I'm talking about a gps-enabled device, not just triangulation which less accuracy than gps. The update freq is even worse, about once a minute here.
The tech is great, but I guess they limit its power due to privacy concerns, like someone attaching a cell phone into your car to track you down What if I am interviewing at a competitor while my boss is looking for me, what if I am buy a present for my wife at a particular high end store.

This article IS about triangulating a cell phone's actual position using Google Latitude? You can see from the screen shot above where I show how to set up a friend and then there are even sample screenshots of Latitude triangulating his position as well as mine. If you're talking about a way to do that without someone's permission, that's a whole different ballgame. I doubt Google or anyone would ever enable that ability due to privacy issues. I would be interested in hearing what other people think about that concept though if Google would remove that step and you could track anyone by cell number alone Just think of the ramifications of that I beg to differ.
A friend of mine was able to trace me on his Blackberry with just a phone number and I never accepted anything.
