Pour Some Gas on the Fire (Eagle)

Started by manalang · 9 months ago

I blogged about Fire Eagle last week. Remember? The service that stores and brokers your location and provides a host of APIs for anyone wanting to integrate location data into their web apps.
That post got 0 comments, which was a bit surprising. I thought Eddie or Dan or Matt would be geeked ... Continue reading »

    Sorry I missed the post last week somehow. Sounds cool, I'll give it a go if you've got invites left.

    Right you are, I did miss Paul's tweet. 17 to go now.

    Worth noting that Firebot is down now, which is a bummer. I've tweeted at the dude who works on it, in his spare time I assume :)

    @Eddie: Will send one of each. May need you (and Rich) to help propagate Brightkite invites, as I only have 2 moar :( Or just ask Twitter, like I did.

    I'd love one - very curious about this service. Hoping that something can be done between FireEagle and my treo for location sensing, too!

    I'd love a Fire Eagle invite if you have any left. I just signed up for BrightKite, and I want to play with the interaction between them.

    On its way by email, don't expect much from the Brighkite-FE app. I've yet to get it working at all. Definitely let me know if you have any success.

    Hmm. I can push to FE from BK, but BK doesn't seem to pull from FE (which is actually the direction I'd like best). I did find a sweet app for my BlackBerry called FindMe, which does automatic location updates through a FaceBook app. I also installed another BlackBerry app called LightPole beta, which seems pretty neat. No automation, but can find cool stuff near me.

    Yeah, I haven't had a lot of success with either push or pull, but I haven't really spent much time testing. Kind of just hoping it will work out when they go public beta.

    So the Web 2.0 Expo used it this year. I thought it was kind of lame. Do you think that it will work better at OOW?

    Yeah, Fireball did a private beta. The Fire Eagle team said they may be public by then, which should drive app development. Right now, nothing seems to be working. Assuming Firebot comes back or there's another Twitter-based app, I think that would useful. Would make it way easier to do ad hoc meetups.

    Can you please give a invite key. Fire eagle has another problem it does not have Java client.

    Hi, the invites I had are long gone. Do you really need a Java API? There are six other options, which is more than you'll get from a lot of consumer Web 2.0 sites.
