However I am not able to use Geode on Linux, confirming my idea that the biggest problem for Fireeagle right now is the scarcity of good location updaters. A solution I implemented on my website is to use Navimote, a small application that runs on most mobile phones and locates you via Wifi + cell towers. It works pretty well. It runs in the background and sleeps until you call it (via push technology). When users visit www.shhpot.com, Navimote is triggered, replies with the position, and Shhpot! updates the user's position on Fireeagle while providing the "best webpage" for that specific location. It's still experimental, but if you want to give it a try, you're extremely welcome! That’s nice, I will give it a try.

This will bring much better accuracy in comparison to IP geocoding, but having to install a browser extension definitely hurts. Until this type of service comes built-in to web browsers it won't be of much use. Nice.
