RTM/FireEagle - Location Task Notication Service looking for testers!

RTM Users, I've recently started developing a web service to bring location data to a few of my favorite things, including RTM. The URL is http://geo.la . I've been using it for my own rtm tasks for a few weeks now and it seems stable enough to bring on a few more testers. The idea is if you run a Yahoo FireEagle client on your phone to update your FireEagle location we'll notify you when you are near a location that you have configured in RTM. For example, if you have your local hardware store configured as a location in RTM and add a task for something like "pick up light bulbs", the next time you are at the hardware store you'll receive an SMS message from geo.la telling you about your RTM tasks. I think this could be useful for people like me who create tasks and then forget about them.. now I will receive a reminder about the task when I need it most - at the location of the task.

If your interested feel free to sign up and let me know how it goes! You'll also be able to use a few other services other than RTM as well - geotag Flickr photos and tweets and do foursquare check-ins. Right now you'll only be able to authenticate via your Yahoo account, but if your a FireEagle user you should already have one of those anyway.
