Yahoo has launched their contibution of “track your location” sites with the release of Fire Eagle. The basic idea behind Fire Eagle is to become the link between your location and the services that you want to give your location to. You can feed your location to Fire Eagle from your GPS unit, cell phone, laptop, etc, then their applications can use it for whatever task you give them permission for. Even though it has just launched, there are a large number of sites already using it (e.g., Dopplr, Facebook, etc.), many of which tie into Google Maps.
In other words, Yahoo’s Fire Eagle, what I like to call a meta-app because it manages many location-enabled apps, is now open to all.
