I think one of the biggest problems Fire Eagle has is that very few people understand what it is, including almost everyone who reports on it.

Fire Eagle is not a competitor to Bright Kite, Loopt or Latitude. It is trying to be the glue that ties such services together – it is a location broker service.

You don’t need any of your friends to use Fire Eagle in order to make use of it. I have my ekit Travel Journal set up to share locations with Fire Eagle. I also have my BrightKite account set up to use Fire Eagle. Now I can share my location when I travel with friends who visit my Travel Journal, or friends who use BrightKite.

There is little doubt that these geo-locating systems will eventually become the norm. The question is when and by whom. As it continues to develop, I'll follow it at this comprehensive digital security site, justaskgemalto.

As I said above, it’s really great news, and this is exactly the case when “every little helps” – every new geo-application adds some more to amount of people who are using them, eventually it’ll gain a critical mass and then – we may see totally different social format, extensively used by everyone.

You’ll be probably quite surprised, but the BriteKite supports FireEagle and in fact, it was one of the first applications ever to support it.

Well, .net is a very little bit difference from .com – whatever is on y.c is a mainstream applications, which are deep and seriously in production, y.n is applications, which has already came out of incubator (or are still there) and make their progress to main y.c (very rougly this is what Google calls “beta” – quite stable, usable, but not as good as we want it to be yet).

To Yahoo: give up the lost fight on search first, then use those resources to launch other killer products where you can win.

Yahoo sat on Fire Eagle for too long and now are scrambling to catch up with services like Google Latitude and Brightkite.

To Yahoo, enhance your search crawler first before doing new product launch.

Sounds like a lot of work for very little value. Too much of a hassle. Location based services should be more automatic and less intrusive. I’m not a big fan of these yet.

@Jason, seems like the stronger angle for the story is that Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft have started to acknowledge the growing strengths of other platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and iPhone.

- Microsoft put Photosynth and games on iPhone; bought parts of Facebook; and expands their adnet.

- Google and Yahoo engineering teams use Twitter.

- Now, Yahoo supplies Facebook apps.

I’m sure you can find more examples from your archive. The web is so pervasive that no single company can service all the needs. The current trend toward integration and cooperation makes more sense. Expanding Google Reader and myYahoo to take social network mindshare away from real social networks make no sense. Cooperation benefits users worldwide.

You can thank me later for this suggestion
