Geolocation is going to be integrated into most web applications in the future. Yahoo has realeased two apps based on fire eagle geolocation web service. One of facebook and the ther as a firefox extension.
This morning Yahoo has released a pair of new applications that tap into Fire Eagle, Yahoo’s ambitious geo-location system that allows a wide variety of web services to share your location data (after being granted permission to do so). The new applications include a rich Facebook application called Friends on Fire and a Fire Eagle extension for Firefox that allows users to update their location directly from their browser without having to leave the site they’re viewing.
Yahoo has been on the forefront innovation in this area with fire eagle. Google recently launched its geolocation service latitude. You also have the startups loopt, brightkite and pelago (whrrl) that have started this whole frenzy. I hope to see plenty of innovation in geolocation services.
