I looked at the website at home. I don't have a phone or phone plan that allows me to post images or anything else from my phone so I don't think it's very useful for me. I would just feel kind of lame.

I really don't see how it's anything but a more limited form of twitter.


I don't have any mobile device, so 'natch I'm out. But this is not something that tempts me.


Again, no offense to anyone here ... but I want the Meet New People app, not the Hang Out With People You Know app (aka twitter AND The LoT).

Hey iSm, your initial guess about how the app works was correct. Not sure how not interacting with it changed your mind.

If I open the app on my iphone, I can see strangers who are posting or have posted based on geography: Area (4000 meters), Neighborhood (2000 meters), Block (200 meters), or Close (20 meters). The only time I sign in as "private" (meaning only my friends can see me) is if I'm home or at a private place that I don't want my stalkers to know about.

You only THINK we don't know where you are...

So that WAS you I saw down at McCain campaign headquarters the other day. I thought so.

Yeah, I knew Twitter would be over as soon as I signed up.

:D

Hehe. Actually, BrightKite is linked to Twitter so no worries there.

Yes, and I've noticed I can see photos posted through BrightKite but my phone can't deal with twitpic.
