Fire Eagle was a Yahoo! owned service that stores a user's location and shares it with other authorized services.[1] It was created by a team which included among others Tom Coates, Simon Willison and Mor Naaman.
A user could authorize other services and applications to update or access this information via the Fire Eagle API, allowing a user to update their location once and then use it on any Fire Eagle enabled-website. The intention of Fire Eagle was to serve as a central broker for location data.[2] Services which supported Fire Eagle included Pownce, Dopplr, Brightkite and Movable Type.[3][4]
The Fire Eagle service was one of the first sites to use the OAuth protocol to connect services together.[citation needed]
The service shut down in February 2013.[5][6]
