Yahoo Knows Where You Are At All Times With Fire Eagle

Washington (dbTechno) – Yahoo has launched a new location service platform they are calling Fire Eagle.

Fire Eagle works with other services to provide a vast array of location based features.

The first feature is that you can tell Fire Eagle where you are, allowing it to basically geo-tag you as you update it.

Another option is to allow another device to tell Fire Eagle where you are as well, such as your mobile phone.

From there, you can set up Fire Eagle to broadcast your location to a variety of services, such as social networks, and other sites.

Location is beginning to become a huge thing on the Internet, with geo-tagging and other location-based things playing a major role on Web sites, social networks, etc.

An example of this would be to set up your mobile phone with Fire Eagle, and have Fire Eagle broadcast to Facebook.

This could allow your Facebook status to be updated to showcase exactly where you are to your friends at all times, thanks to Fire Eagle.

There are already 50 applications that have integrated Fire Eagle into their services. These include blogging services, as well as others.

For those who want some privacy, you have the ability to hide your location at times, and only permit certain people to see it.
