I cannot wait to try Fire Eagle
Since Plazes made the concious decison to start sucking and sucking badly, it’s been hard to be a free agent floating in space (or something like that). I never know where anyone is. Hopefully, Yahoo! is going to solve that problem soon.

Take your time- it’s just an API right now since the Yahoo applications haven’t been released yet. So far the only things I’ve seen are a Movable Type plugin and Danger Day. I think it’ll be cool once it’s really ready.

Indeed. But it’s been almost four moths now, and we’re still waiting for Fire Eagle to prove its potential. This comment is actually quite similar to my recent post about BrowserPlus.
The frustrating part is that the API is very thought through, but that it hasn’t been embraced a the go-to service for location. For example, we’re beginning to sketch more advanced geo-stuff for 23 and it’s still and open question if there’s a point of us making the effort to act as both an input and an output service for Fire Eagle.
