Fire Eagle is a free service from Yahoo! that provides a conduit for updating a centrally-stored current location, permitting delivery of location-aware services by means of an API allowing developers to resolve and share user location across various applications. Care has been taken to address privacy concerns by keeping choice in the hands of users, who can update their location manually or automatically from "anywhere". For example, Fire Updater on your MacBook might put you in a London hotel, while subsequent telemetry from SearchQuest GPS on iPhone tells your mates which pub to find you at; at least one WordPress plug-in is in development.
