Dopplr at ETech: announcing Fire Eagle integration
Fire Eagle is the latest beta product from Yahoo Brickhouse. It was announced today at the ETech conference in San Diego by Tom Coates:
“Fire Eagle is the secure and stylish way to share your location with sites and services online while giving you unprecedented control over your data and privacy. We’re here to make the whole web respond to your location and help you to discover more about the world around you.”
We’ve been working with their team to allow you to link your Dopplr and Fire Eagle accounts, and share your location with other trusted services that you choose and control. We can send a location update to Fire Eagle when you’re travelling, so that other services can act on that information. Of course, this can also be turned off at any time. This is similar to how we update your Facebook newsfeed on travel days if you use our Facebook application.
It’s early days for Fire Eagle and we’ve started with the simplest possible integration. If you’ve got ideas about how we could use your location data from Fire Eagle to make Dopplr a better service, we’d love to hear about them.
Fire Eagle is available only by invitation right now, but we’ve secured a small number of invitations for Dopplr users. They’re available, first come first served, at our Fire Eagle page. Watch this space for further Fire Eagle news.

It seems that Dopplr doesn’t inform back FireEagle when a trip ends and I get back home. Am I wrong? It’s the second time it happens.
Cheers,
Yoan,
I’ll look into that for you. It certainly should be doing that, but there may be a bug.
Matt.
