Fire eagle updates are they bi-directional?
Fire eagle updates are they bi-directional?
It appears that Brightkite updares Fireagle, but not visa versa.
Is this the intended mode of operation?
As Fire Eagle is designed to serve locations, I expected Fire Eagle to feed Brightkite.

Inappropriate?Allan, currently it only goes from Brightkite --> FireEagle right now. The ability to get location from FireEagle is on our to do list.

Similarly, you've got BrightKite -> Twitter, but what about Twitter -> BrightKite? I've got a GPS tool that lets me submit my location to Twitter, but BrightKite doesn't "see" my Twitter location... -
Joe, if you're talking about twitterrific, for some reason it's not posting my location to Twitter (but it can post tweets just fine). Also, you should make a separate thread for that separate issue if it does not already exist.

Inappropriate?I think my use of Brightkite would really increase if it had this feature (or integration with the Navizon iPhone GPS tracking stuff, which I am feeding into Fire Eagle)1 Comment Add a comment

Yes Brightkite would really become cool if it read from fireeagle....or got it's own GPS based app.
-
Inappropriate?Thanks for the swift reply. Glad to hear the two way feed is on the list.
Having now found other threads on this topic, i have retagged this with fireeagle too. -
Inappropriate?Good to hear you're working on it....my Fire Eagle settings show that the connection with Brightkite is two way so at least I know that's a future feature. It'll be much easier once I can update Fire Eagle with Light Pole and it will automatically ping you guys! -
Inappropriate?Since Fireeagle updates my location automatically from my phone via Navizon, it would save me a lot of manual updates to go Fireeagle > Brightkite or Navizon > Britekite -
Inappropriate?Please count me as someone who is eagerly waiting for BriteKite to consume my location information from fire eagle
-
Inappropriate?We are working with the FE team on a scalable way to consume their location information. It's fairly complicated for us, but we are working on it.

Inappropriate?I hope Bright Kite gets this working soon. BK has a lot of promise, but until it accepts GPS data via FE, BK has basically no use for me.
I’m hopeful

Likewise, FE is of no use for me. Fire Eagle still does not support complex privacy controls, but BrightKite does. For example, I can say that I am in 'private' mode, and that 'trusted' friends can see my full location, but Fire Eagle does not have flags like that, it only has trusted _services_, so I would have to use two different brightkite accounts, one public one that gets the 'filtered' information from Fire Eagle, and one private one that friends have access to and can see the full address (I don't think this is even possible unless I leave it in private mode all the time). There is no difference to Fire Eagle. I've blogged about it and Tom Coates is unsure if it's a good idea or not, which is silly. The ability to pass along privacy flags (in private mode or not, so 'trusted friends' features still work) would be awesome.

Inappropriate?I need Fire Eagle and Brite Kite to communicate smoothly, correctly and in a timely manner (i.e. fast). Bidirectional and event driven. If I change on one site, I need the other to know quickly.
I’m sad

Inappropriate?I agree. I already have the Navizon GPS on my Blackberry updating every 30 minutes, and sending it to FireEagle. So it's half a bridge now :)
I’m frustrated
