Does the app actually calculate how long it would take to reach the destination, taking into account even traffic jams along the way? Other than that, I think it's an interesting app, but hopefully one that will not drain the battery of our devices just to use it.

Like Glympse, Snikkr treats temporary location sharing as a first-class user requirement. Unlike Glympse, however, we have a full suite of mapping, local-search and social networking features, that (hard to believe I know), is still easy and fun to use. We've made 50 alpha slots available with the reg code "tc1" (that's a number 1) for readers of TechCrunch (and this post in particular). You will need a BlackBerry Curve, Pearl, Bold or Storm to use the alpha version of Snikkr. Enjoy.
