Like the web interface and design and congratulate Zkout on their multiple platform rollout. I'm interested to see how the more widespread adoption of GPS will be embraced by Zkout to overcome the manual input of location limitation.

For readers who would like a Fire Eagle invite I just got an email from Christian where he says "... Sure, I can provide your readers with Fire Eagle invites and they can try it in conjunction with ZKOUT. Easiest way for them is to send me a message on ZKOUT -> http://snurl.com/29cmm Myself I have a jail-broken iPhone that runs Navizon's positioning client... posts my location to Fire Eagle every 10 mins and ZKOUT pulls that info in real time. Very cool!"

Thanks for the comment, Christian. II'll have to take a look at the beta. Any new mobile features in it?

I'm very interested in a Fire Eagle invite. I think some of my readers might be too I don't want to post your email address without your permission but if I get any comments asking for invites may I forward them to you?

Thanks for a great review! We just released a new beta-build that allows for uploading Moments from our desktop-version of ZKOUT as well as Yahoo! Fire Eagle integration. By integrating Fire Eagle our users can leverage daemons such as Navizon's Virtual GPS. Navizon will update Fire Eagle with location and Fire Eagle will share that data with ZKOUT. Very cool! Thus we now have a hybrid -- mobile web with the capability of automatic positioning through 3rd party services... I have invites for Fire Eagle if anyone would like to try out the integration with ZKOUT. Just ping me at cwiklund at wichro.com... enabling Fire Eagle is done through our desktop version under Menu -> Settings -> Share

Cheers!
