DashApp Spotlight: Fire Eagle Location Based Service
Thanks to the work of community developer Mike Tuckman, we’re excited to be included as a Fire Eagle launch partner. Fire Eagle is a location based service (LBS) that acts as a digital switchboard, by receiving and distributing a member’s current position in real-time. With a few quick taps, Dash Express customers can wirelessly provide their precise location to Fire Eagle. In turn, Fire Eagle will notify any of the customer’s linked applications - a library of sites and services that’s quickly growing.
“Fire Eagle is about making everything on the Internet more useful, fun or interesting by adding the element of location. We’re here to help people take their location to the Web by giving them the ability to control how much detail about their location they want to share and which applications they want to share it with.” -Tom Coates, head of product at Yahoo!
