WhereCamp: Day 1 Recap
Posted by Ryan Sarver under: Culture; Programming .
Day 1 of WhereCamp was a huge success and was even better than we could have imagined going into it. We had an amazing group of people show up, somewhere over 170, which led to no only great session, but the discussion between sessions and during lunch were even more valuable. I will do a full recap when I get back to Boston and get settled, but I thought it would be worthwhile to post a few links and point out the new addition to my blog.
In the sidebar you will now see a map that shows the city I am currently in. Its using Fire Eagle as the back end to it. Fire Eagle is a project from the guys at Y!RB that was just released this weekend at WhereCamp. It is essentially a web service or directory that allows users to submit their location via a number of devices and then expose that information to application on a per-application basis. Each application has to register with the system and can be granted different levels of granularity. Very cool.
