Fire Eagle and other geolocation apps
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008
Fire Eagle from Yahoo’s Brickhouse was released today. Basically it keeps an individual’s location up-to-date, usually via their mobile device. We could use it to tie in to Flaming Desks so that we automatically search for desk locations near the user. Not so useful if you are accessing it from your laptop or desktop, but when we finish the mobile version (!) it could be handy. Also a good way of getting it out there.
Possibly a better tie up would be with geographicly based social networks, some of which are conveniently listed on this fire eagle blog post.
