Hi! Cool stuff. I’m currently hacking something quite similar. It’s also a sidebar-widget-kind of thing to display live location, plus time and mode of update and an optional activity message. It uses Google’s static maps API (a standard Google Map + Google Earth plugin version will follow soon). Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to integrate it with Fire Eagle (and twitter) yet, but that’s also coming, hopefully in the next 3 or 4 weeks. If you want to check it out:

I think I’ve found a bug in it, when I click the box [Authenticate with Fire Eagle] it takes me to http://www.sethb.com/wp-content/plugins/i-am-here/redirector.php when the correct URL would be http://www.sethb.com/weblog/wp-content/plugins/i-am-here/redirector.php

Hi Klaus,

I have Fireeagle up-and-running and it would be great to have it also on my Wordpress blog.

Thanx

Hello, I was wondering if you still have any invite codes for Fire Eagle? If you do I will appreciate if you e-mail me one. Thanks. I found your article very interesting!

Sounds interesting dude. I’d love to have a play with what you’ve created at some point, maybe after I’ve finished all my current projects. Oh wait, that will _never_ happen!

Be sure to share the plugin when you’re happy with it anyway, even if its just version 0.1.

@finid
I agree, it does not add _real_ value as it is, but as I said, it was basically a way for me to familiarize myself with how Fire Eagle works by implementing some mini-thingy on my blog. That was the goal and I achieved it.

Regarding update in real-time: that is totally possible, cause you don’t have to necessarily go to the Fire Eagle website every time you want to update your location. You could have an application running on your mobile phone (authorized with Fire Eagle) that regularly updates your location on Fire Eagle and use that to provide real meaningful information to the user.

Very nice attempt. I must add that the real value in an app of this nature comes only if there is a way to socialize with the user in – real time.

Displaying location info is really of no real meaningful use, but if I can interact with with you as you move from place to place, and as that info is dynamically updated and displayed on your site, then we are talking.
