Share your location with Yahoo's Fire Eagle

Yahoo has just opened up Fire Eagle, a simple service that updates your physical location across any Web services you choose to update it with. Once you sign up, Fire Eagle will ask for your location and give you a few application options with which to geotarget yourself:

• Get Dopplr to tell Fire Eagle the city you're in.
• Check into your favorite places-and update Fire Eagle-with Brightkite.
• Update your location on your OSX dashboard with our very own Fire Widgets.
• Use ZoneTag, My Loki or Navizon to broadcast your location automatically.
• Try out Searchquest GPS for iPhone or visit m.fireeagle.com on the go.
• Or check out more applications in the Fire Eagle Gallery.

Basically, Fire Eagle will just let other people know where you are, with the information that you choose to share - it's a geo-location service. It's an interesting way to interact with other people on the Web; I'm not sure how much I'll actually use it (maybe if Fire Eagle came with a way to geo-locate my keys every morning, I'd be more excited!), but for those of us who are very plugged in to the whole social networking scene, it could be very helpful.
