Publish to Fire Eagle or Brightkite
Gowalla offers a more compelling reason to launch an app and "check in" than most location-oriented tools (except perhaps Foursquare)... I would love if it would (optionally) publish my location to Fire Eagle or Brightkite so I can take advantage of those services indirectly.

I'd love FireEagle integration as I already do a load of mash-ups with my geodata via FireEagle. Of course, if you were to offer an API which allowed me to pull out my Gowalla locations lat/lon then integration with another service wouldn't be necessary ;)

Inappropriate?That's a great idea. We should totally think through this one. It is a PITA to have to check in with multiple apps.
I’m excited

An API would fill me with joy :) -
Yeah, we really want a screenscape around the office of checkins... -
Sounds like a challenge! Love the ASCII art Gowalla logo in the source btw ;) -
Inappropriate?Definitely would like a push of location data to Fire Eagle. Already using it with half a dozen different apps, it's very nice to have a centralized location storage.
