Rummble, the mobile and location-based ‘social discovery’ tool, has added a basic integration of Yahoo’s Fire Eagle location data to its service. If you have a Fire Eagle account (it’s in invite-only beta right now) you can allow Rummble to set your Fire Eagle location when you set your location on the Rummble web service. You can also update your location manually from within Fire Eagle. Rummble, which was recently on the WebMission, has an algorithm designed to works out which reviews of places are relevant to you based on your social network and location.
