FireEagle + Dopplr = Pretty cool

by Rafe Needleman

Just a quick post, before I get on a plane, to point out that Dopplr has implemented integration with FireEagle. As I've said before, the variable resolution feature is pretty cool.

Now you can update your Dopplr location through FireEagle.

Hm. Even with FireEagle, Dopplr still seems pretty sparse compared to TripIt: you have to manually enter in all of your info in Dopplr, as opposed to TripIt's scraping from emails. Got to hand it to Dopplr, though, for grabbing hot beta traffic to offset that!

FireEagle APIs allow data out as well as in. In other words, expect apps that get your info from your phone or other devices and update your location profile with it. One could predict that Tripit becomes a FireEagle writer and reader, too.

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
