Firefox Geode

Google release a plugin for firefox that helps in identifying user's geographic location as long as they give permission to access the information

This service uses Skyhook’s Loki technology to map the Wifi signals in your area to your location. Similar to Yahoo's Fire Eagle, Geode users can decide what level of location information they want to reveal to a website, 'exact location', 'neighbourhood', 'city' or 'nothing'.

Geode, a preview of technology to arrive in Firefox 3.1, taps into technology called Loki from Skyhook that deduces a computer's location from the signals of nearby wireless networks, according to a Mozilla Labs blog post on Geode.
