I have five invites to Brightkite
caro:
I have five invites to the private beta of Brightkite, a wacky little location-based mobile service that seems to think it’s going to outdo both Twitter and Dodgeball. It was getting tossed around in San Francisco last week at the Web 2.0 Expo and it seems decent. Privacy controls are more extensive than Dodgeball, which is something that I think concerned a fair number of people outside the early-adopter geek set. I’m a big believer in location based-services (LBS) as the feature that will really set off mobile social-networking, but nobody’s gotten it right yet. We’ll see if this one takes off. I’m not sure it will. But who knows?
Normally when I have invites to give away I shoot an up-for-grabs message on Twitter, but most of the people I know on Twitter are based in the Bay Area. I would kind of like to test this out in New York, where it seems like Tumblr has more of a foothold (to say the least). So if you want one, reblog this with an e-mail address to which I can send an invite.
This will also be a strategy to see if there are actually five people reading this.
I’m really interested in this tech … justinsuperstar@yahoo.com
