brightkite is here! could it be the new twitter?

If I wanted people to join me in whatever I'm currently doing, wouldn't I have already invited them?

There really aren't that many times in my day where I'm in a "gee, I wish someone would show up and hang with me right now" place.

Is that what this is intended for (seems great for high school kids with no commitments on their time) or am I missing something?

No, you're not missing anything.

Some of my Twitter friends say this very thing - "I'm here, anyone want to join me?" Not me so much, but others. I can dig it, I'm just not able to drive long distances to hang out on weekday evenings. The whole thing just makes me wish I lived closer to the action.
