I haven’t written about Fire Eagle in a while but: this is supercool. When we started thinking about FireEagle this was a large portion of the vision we have in mind - information services that tune in on your location and offering you slightly better services - not necessarily radically better - just slightly better - but because of the ease of intergration, provide a location-based service that other would not be available.
So now, my phone talks to Fire Eagle and tells it where I am, while Headup recognizes objects (such as band names) on websites and tell me about nearby events, or shows my photos taken nearby when I visit Flickr.
Now this is the part where Naaman takes credit for introducing the Tals[1] who run Headup/Semantinet to Fire Eagle (first) and the team (second). A beginning of a beautiful friendship, I hope.
[1] Seriously - two guys named Tal.

Thanks Mor for the post!
I am happy to hear that you appreciate the functionality. Keep in mind that everything is still experimental - I am certain in the next two months you are going to appreciate our progress.
Yours,
One of the Tals
