Hey guys, this is a great idea that came to me over night, why not have a friend compass ? But what is a friend compass you may ask, well, on a multiplayer server,you would take this ''friend compass'' and right click a player with it. This would then ''mark'' the player and the compass will always point to him/her, but you can change the player with every right click, of course. And when you hover over the compass in your inventory, it will show this player's name.
This could be an interesting concept if on server you go out exploring with a friend, and that he/she finds something cool, like a cave or something, so instead of having ''it's kinda left to that thing, but not too left, if you know what I mean'' moments, you could just follow a needle. But this handy tool would not only have a purpose in multiplayer, but singleplayer too. How ? Well, while holding the compass and doing a right click, it would ''mark'''the area you were looking at, so you can easely find it again. Example: find a cool cave but have nothing on you, look at the cave, right click, now it's marked, go home, get your things, follow the needle and visit the cave. But now comes the design element, well this is what I think it should look like

Kinda like the original compass, but with gold instead of redstone. Although diamond could be a possibility.
I more rather the suggestion I saw on another page suggesting an atlas. But the friend compass seems like an interesting idea, even if it has been suggested already.
Also, @ibeatyou9: The search is temporarily disabled for what ever reason, be it site updates we don't know about or the likes, or it might just be because I'm new, but every time I click it, it tells me its down. If you so desire, I can provide a screen-shot of such.

you didnt have to put it in caps and bold, it was a bit uncalled for actually. anyway, my usual world i play on is a relatively flat one so i just use a beacon 'o' dirt, although this idea seems very good even if it has been suggested before.
Google is too general and I'd never find what I wanted unless I used twenty key words and anything particular in this site and I'd most likely get five thousand different results that have similar uses, I use Google almost all the time and searching it for something specific can be difficult because of spam or other variables that make more results than necessary pop up =P
