  • topperge · 1 year ago
    I can haz invite...plez.
  • Dan Norris · 1 year ago
    Sorry I missed the post last week somehow. Sounds cool, I'll give it a go if you've got invites left.
  • Jake · 1 year ago
    will dm one to each of you . . . 18 to go
  • Jake · 1 year ago
    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 :)
  • Jake · 1 year ago
    @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.

  • Jake · 1 year ago
    @talboito: On its way, only 15 remain now.
  • shishir · 1 year ago

    TIA :)

    Yes, posting a comment for an invite.
  • Paul Dunbar · 1 year ago
    I'd love one - very curious about this service. Hoping that something can be done between FireEagle and my treo for location sensing, too!
  • topperge · 1 year ago
    I've got a couple brightkite invites left too if anyone needs them. Just email or tweet me.
  • plord01 · 1 year ago
    I'd love a fire eagle invite please!!! Patrick Lord, MobiLuck
  • Jake · 1 year ago
    @shishir: Sent you one via dm.
    @S Venkataramanan/Paul/Patrick: Sending via email.
  • Donnie Berkholz · 1 year ago
    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.
  • Jake · 1 year ago
    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.
  • Donnie Berkholz · 1 year ago
    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.
  • Jake · 1 year ago
    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.
  • Marius Ciortea · 1 year ago
    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?
  • Jake · 1 year ago
    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.
  • Abrar Fahad · 1 year ago
    Can you please give a invite key. Fire eagle has another problem it does not have Java client.
  • Jake · 1 year ago
    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.
