Well Yahoo! launches Fire Eagle, it is an open platform that helps users take their location to Web while giving them the ability to easily control how and where their location data is shared .Users can authorize Web, mobile or desktop applications to update their location automatically, user can decide how much of that information to share with their favourite service and also can  hide themselves.

The working method of Fire Eagle is, it allows the users a place to store and manage information about their location, and offers developers clear protocols for updating or accessing that information. It's open, allowing any networked service can use Fire Eagle to respond to a user's location -to help them find their friends , annotate the world or find nearby services or local information.

Through this way Fire Eagle is about making everything on the Internet more useful, fun or interesting by adding the element of location.So Fire Eagle will help people take their location to the Web by giving them the ability to control how much detail about their location they want to share and which applications they want to share it with.

Its private beta launch in March of this year.
