Mozilla Labs Geode

Got Firefox? Want to know where you are at all times? Check out this announcement from Mozilla Labs. I think people are going to either love the idea or hate it, either way you'll be able to check it out in the upcoming beta releases of Firefox 3.1.


Introducing Geode, an experimental add-on to explore geolocation in Firefox 3 ahead of the implementation of geolocation in a future product release. Geode provides an early implementation of the W3C Geolocation specification so that developers can begin experimenting with enabling location-aware experiences using Firefox 3 today, and users can tell us what they think of the experience it provides. It includes a single experimental geolocation service provider so that any computer with WiFi can get accurate positioning data.
 
As long as it has an option that allows you to turn it off I would be good with it. There are actually times when having local info would be a plus.
