You might bother with Fire Eagle to help people who submit articles to your site have their location detected automatically. I can see value in a system that aims to give the “best guess” of what a location string really refers to. Deduplication with location is really tricky – if you have some suggestions, I’d love to hear about them.

and I must say why would I bother with Fire Eagle. Servers can already guess location and moreover I think we will move to a system where user agents have an location disclosure opt in built in.

iN which case why use a third party
