Fire Eagle

The Fire Eagle plugin for Movable Type connects your Movable Type profile to your account on Yahoo's Fire Eagle service, making your Movable Type install location-aware.

It adds your "Current Location"--pulled periodically from Fire Eagle--to your profile, makes that location available for other plugins, and provides template tags that allow you to add your current location to your Movable Type-powered blog, including a map of where you're currently at.

It also integrates with Action Streams, so that changes to your location are automatically reflected in your stream of actions.
