Clarke is a small OS X application for updating your Fire Eagle location quietly, in the background. On Leopard (10.5) it uses Skyhook's API to triangulate your position from nearby wireless access points. On Snow Leopard (10.6) it uses Core Location. It's free, and the source code is available on Github.

What makes the BlockChalk platform unique?

* It’s dead simple. There are no badges, medals, points, unicorns, pirates, or other viral gaming craziness. BlockChalk is about locations and the messages people leave there, that’s it.

* It’s flexible. The interfaces and data structures are general in nature, and we encourage you to build application-specific functionality on top of them. We’ve thought up plenty of uses for BlockChalk, but we think it’s the independent developers who will come up with the best ones.
* It’s anonymous. This means authentication is unnecessary and security concerns are light (when was the last time you heard that?). The API just uses a simple user ID token to tie together a given user’s chalks (i.e. messages they’ve posted) and replies. Anonymity also means that BlockChalk is unconcerned with identity, friends, and social networks. Think more Craigslist, less Facebook.

This project is an open source project, aiming to create a complete database of CellID worlwide, with their locations

"If you are a web developer you will love the additional features Big Five brings to you. It is the only application in the App Store that enables your web apps to access the accelerometer data, getting the current geo position, use the built in camera and more."
