One of the most difficult things about using any location-based service is setting and maintaining your location. Lots of forces are working to simplify this: in particular, location-sensitive devices like the iPhone and GPS-enabled handsets will shake things up, but one cool software-only simplification is Yahoo! Fire Eagle.
We just launched synchronization with Fire Eagle. If you haven’t seen it yet, Fire Eagle is a location brokering service that allows you to share your location beyond the boundaries of an application. That is, if you set your location in one app, your location will be propagated out of the app into any other location-aware that you use.
If you have a beta invite to Fire Eagle, click on your username in Outalot to edit your settings, and enable Fire Eagle to get your location synchronized across Outalot and any other Fire Eagle-enabled site.
