Get Your Fire Eagle Badge!@#$

What is this thing?

Get a really lightweight Fire Eagle badge by inserting a couple of lines of HTML anywhere you want. Your blog, your website, your Apache enabled belt, wherever you want you can now display your real time location. You don't have to install any plugins or sign up for any service. Since no personally identifiable information is stored, if you lose your badge just generate a new one.

Here's what it looks like: The map is optional.

How do I updated my location?

Check out the Fire Eagle application gallery, chances are you're already using a service that is Fire Eagle enabled. I'm a big fan of ZoneTag.

What if I want to gussy this thing up?

I've added CSS support. So if you add these classes to your stylesheet, you can make this badge look however you want.
  • fireeagle_badge_main_container - the div that encompasses the whole badge.
  • fireeagle_badge_map_container - the div that encompasses the map (map is optional).
  • fireeagle_badge_data_container - the div that encompasses the data list portion (location, time last updated, etc.).
  • fireeagle_data_list - the ul list that encompasses the list of data entries.
  • fireeagle_data_entry - the li for an individual data entry.
  • fireeagle_badge_credits - the div that encompasses the credits.

What if I get sick of this thing / I think you're creepy? (a word about security)

I don't keep track of who you are but depending on where you embed your badge, anyone can do a view source and grab the html. So make sure you know what you're doing. If you want to disable your badge, login to Fire Eagle and de-authenticate the badge application from having access to your location.

Ok, so to get your badge, click below. You'll be authenticated against Fire Eagle and given your badge.
