if you click the "who's online" link it displays what we're looking at on the site, and displays where we are on google maps...

Apps like that might be able to get close based on your IP, as in what city you're in, but I don't think they can track you all the way to your house.

The fact that this doesn't work particularly well is, if anything, a good thing. It's kind of creepy.

Yeah, if I get an iphone I think that will be one of the features that would make me interested. It's too bad I already have an ipod or it would be even more useful.
