fireeagle

Got a #fireeagle invite off of twitter. This is cool.

It's a Yahoo location service/framework/thingy. Yahoo holds a 'location hierarchy', and you allow applications to see/change some level of that hierarchy.

So you might want one application to know where you are down to the city level ( restaurant recommendations, for instance ), and another to know your exact location. Like perhaps http://rescuemefromthemadkidnapper.com.

Sticking with my current twitter fetish, http://twitter.com/dangerday is a bot which lets you update fireeagle with your location and to query user's locations.

So on twitter you can find out where I was last prepared to admit to being with 'd dangerday q mawhin'.

Deeply cool.
