Thanks to Barry Gervin for pointing out the Loki site to me.
Loki is a free location based search and browser add-on allowing users to easily update their whereabouts. Loki uses the WIFI on your device and triangulation to determine the location of the device. Yes you heard me it uses WIFI. That's pretty cool. Loki can automatically update FaceBook, RSS Feeds or badges to let subscribers know your whereabouts.
Currently Loki uses Google maps to display the location. I thought it would be great to integrate Loki with Virtual Earth using the RSS feed they make available.
Basically a small (200 by 200 pixel) map is displayed centred on the Loki location from the RSS feed. The map also displays an icon at the centre. Hovering over the icon displays a small tool tip like window where an image and some text is displayed. If you want a larger map, just click the map and a new window is displayed with the same map but with a 600 by 600 pixel size.

Guess the movie
I woke up. The pain and sickness all over me like an animal. Then I realized what it was. The music coming up from the floor was our old friend, Ludwig Van, and the dreaded Ninth Symphony.
