I think I’m giving up on Brightkite



“I think I'm giving up on Brightkite. It seems to have forgotten about all the cities and locations I used to visit. Now it tells me it can't find those places. I'm not about to waste my time guessing what it knows instead. Goodbye Brightkite.”

To be honest, not much. I forged one real life friendship out of it, so that was cool -- it was fun to share my destinations with friends (more specifically, the pictures that I took were well-received). That's about it, though. I don't have a GPS-enabled phone so Brightkite did it for me. - Tamar Weinberg

A Peek At Brightkite For the iPhone

Brightkite’s featureset will be familiar to users of similar applications like Loopt. The app allows users to syndicate their current location to their friends, meet nearby Brightkite users, and lifestream with the equivalent of geo-encoded Tweets. The application is tied to Yahoo’s Fire Eagle, which allows users to manage their location from a number of other services. The site also uses databases to automatically associate POI’s and cross streets with GPS locations, so user positions aren’t simply displayed as coordinates.

Brightkite app for Windows Mobile in the works

385 development hours, 3.5 median hours of sleep per night, 265 pounds of food, and roughly 4,000 cups of coffee. That's what it took for five teams to compete in last week's Microsoft's Mobile Incubation Week, an intense five-day hustle to create the best Windows Mobile application, from concept to finished product.

In the dark auditorium at Microsoft's modest Mountain View offices last Friday, the breakneck development rate showed. Two bleary-eyed developers stepped onto a dark stage before a smattering of peers, press, and judges to present their showing: a Windows Mobile version of Brightkite, a location-based social network that lets you create a photo journal of your day that friends can track.
