DIH's dashboard

OK. As long as it's optional pulling from FE on a case by case (or by option choice) - I'm cool. Don't want push from FE to brightkite. under any circumstances - destroys purpose of brightkite - won't repeat points made earlier.

As I've also said before FE is an aggregator and there are many possible socialmedia community tools that I might want to pull geolocation information from FE into that community; but in the same way there any many other socialmedia communities that I might choose to only update myself on an ad hoc basis and not have all members of that community seeing my location when I'm not actively using that tool.

Why would you want to read location from Fire Eagle into Brightkite. The point of Fire Eagle (as I see it, imho) is that it is an aggregator a sort of post restante where you can go and pick-up your location for all sorts of purposes. You then have clients (eg Brightkite), widgets (Fire Widget), or more interestingly GPS-devices, posting actual location to Fire Eagle.

So, the more interesting questions are about more universal support for GPS-enabled devices, eg BlackBerry, in Brightkite, and perhaps more intriguing - what do you do with your Google Latitude information? – DIH, on April 15, 2009 12:32

I'll keep an eye on it, it's working at the moment, but I can assure you when I updated on Fire Widgets (Mac Dashboard) it seemed to grab the application space and I couldn't update using Brightkite, at all. – DIH, on April 14, 2009 16:59

Fire Eagle doesn't seem to be updating for me; last update recorded as 6 days ago. Fire Widgets is updating. Could there be a conflict at the Fire Eagle end?
