Yahoo knows where you are

When did Yahoo hire George Orwell?

I know my wife isnt going to Starbucks in the mourning! I cant wait to bust her.

why stoop to such a low level that you have to spy on your girlfriend??

if you think she’s cheating, ask her. if you feel so insecure about such a thing, dump her and learn to live alone because you can’t handle the ‘thoughts’ such as infidelity.

the problem here is not her, it is YOU.

if she wants to be with someone else, let her…move on…get your life moving the way you want it to.

don’t make excuses and continue down that road….pick a new path and make the best of it.

but to put a final nail in this conversation coffin….

if you think she’s cheating on you, she probably is!

it’s only your fault that you stay in a relationship like that.

I’m right here.

im gonna use this to spy on my girlfirend. i think shes cheating on me.

This is nothing new. As long as the internet is based on IP addresses, anyone can tell where anyone else is.

Also, Fire Eagle and IP address tracing only can get acurate to about a block or so away.

Wow, people get excited over the silliest things. If you want to get upset, check out GPS trackers. You crazy exboyfriend can buy this tiny little black box and tuck it under your car. It sends back the GPS signal regularly to the subscriber. Available to the public, and the advertisement is now a common pop-up ad when I use google.

I know where you are and so does the government… Nice butt….

Go to Zabasearch.com and type in your name….More than likely it will give you your entire history with links to personal information and where you have live for the last 20 years phone numbers and all..

If you have a cell phone some already knows where you are….

this is just another way for the gov’t and feds to ease-drop on what the populous is doing.. there is no privacy anymore..

For those of you who walk around with
cell phones glued to your head, I can
only imagine how cool this will look
on some Pentagon monitor………..

Hello.., just a comment. I “don’t” want anyone to know where I live. What happened to privacy ? Mike, Butte, Montana

Makes me think maybe Yahoo should have sold to Microsoft – this is pretty lamo!

Time to cancel my Yahoo! account I suppose. Like any online service it can and will be abused, can and will be hacked. Just one more way to get yourself in hot water as the victim of hacking. No thanks. I want more privacy, not less.

“We think it’s a good idea that users can lie about where they are,” says Tom Coates, head of product at Yahoo’s Brickhouse.

Or this could be a GREAT tool for a Pshyco girlfriend trying to track you down. Maybe Big Bro could find a couple good uses…. Yahoo, you suck.

this is not going to broadcast your location. it is simply going to customize the site based on your location. i.e. show news from your area, restaurants, etc. get a grip people.

Bah… use anonymous proxy…

Google and Yahoo are both becoming or already are bloated, redundant, unfocused companies. Yahoo’s worse if you ask me. Google’s developments are more apt and streamlined, with all-around better interfaces and far less intrusive software. Yahoo hasn’t really got much going for it other than Flickr. I guess it’s instant messenger is still much more preferable to MSN, but that isn’t saying much. Yahoo’s Answers concept probably looked very good on paper; but in practice, it’s completely useless. I shudder to think of how much Answers has cost them.

Ultimately it would benefit either company, or any company really, to pick a direction and stick with it. Google has done a far better job of “branching out” in terms of developing web applications and new contexts for metadata and networking, etc, but a loss of focus and direction will only result with lots of money wasted on useless developments and applications nobody cares about.

Ultimately Fire Eagle is just going to be one more “service” I don’t use, along with every application mentioned in the article.

I just don’t see it catching on.

http://www.searchtheentirecraigslist.com knows where the items you are looking for are located at ALL times!

“This is not good. Tragedy waiting to happen. Another tool for predators: child/sex/both.” Posted By James, Indy IN . Another idiot adding more paranoia to the world.

Just what I’ve always wanted!!! Advertisements on my cell phone because I happen to be driving by some place. Wow, just think of all the places I would now know to refuse to do business with.

I can hear the morons now: “I will have no privacy, I gotta have my privacy, what about my privacy.”

Doug is correct, this is not a new technology what so ever. Porn sites have been using it for years and there is a site Ziggs.com where you can see the location of people that have googled you. This may be new for corporate giants like Yahoo but by no means is the technology new.

Personally, I think the wider implementation of this technology is pretty neat.

k. What makes this ‘less evil’ just because it isn’t by Google? Presumably this fully adheres to a strict ‘opt in’ principle in all aspects; otherwise there goes your privacy. And, I’d better not be charged for any bandwidth/use costs for things I didn’t want pushed to my mobile device.

It seems to me that they will just give your information away, even if you tell them not to. how many of us get spam on brand new e-mail addresses that are virgin? yes, sign up once, and everyone will know where you are. FOREVER!

Next up on Yahoo’s list… WaterEagle… a half-breed of eagle species with gills! yey!

Drama, oh, help, “this is not good” – grow up.

Why would I want everyone to know where I am at all times?

This is so old school. Porn sites have been doing this for years.

This is not good. Tragedy waiting to happen. Another tool for predators: child/sex/both.

Go Yahoo

Google is more evil these days.
