			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://johnwilker.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/picture-1.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-434" title="Brightkite" src="http://johnwilker.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/picture-1.png" alt="" width="290" height="220" /></a>I&#8217;ve been on the <a href="http://www.brightkite.com" target="_blank">Brightkite</a> iPhone app beta for a while now, and I gotta say it&#8217;s a damn cool app. <a href="http://adamflater.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Adam Flater</a> introduced me to brightkite&#8230;. sheesh, a while ago. Since then I&#8217;ve met the team a few times and really enjoyed talking to them.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s finally available in the <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=294178808&amp;mt=8" target="_blank">App Store</a>. <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">I&#8217;d paste the app store link but the store seems to be having some troubles. I was hoping to be the first to review it too, foiled!</span></p>
<p>If you need an invite let me know, I&#8217;ve got some.</p>
<p>The application makes checking in, posting notes and photos a breeze. The location aware services, even on a G1 iPhone, kick butt, they&#8217;re very accurate. I&#8217;ve heard that the 3G stuff is just plain awesome!</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also kinda cool that Brightkite is right up the street from me, that&#8217;s kinda neat to have such a cool start <a href="http://johnwilker.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/picture-3.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-435" title="Brightkite app" src="http://johnwilker.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/picture-3-208x300.png" alt="" width="208" height="300" /></a>up so close. I still need to see the office, but will one of these days.</p>
<p>if you&#8217;re into location aware services, Brightkite is the app for you. There&#8217;s plenty of other apps, Loopt (i&#8217;ve used) is ok, but not the same. Brightkite is more like twitter, in that the community that has formed around is pretty tight and very friendly.</p>
<p>Check it out. Who knows, maybe <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/10/19/omg-britney/" target="_blank">Britney</a> will join us and we can all see where she checks in (scary thought)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ok well Kinda!</p>
<p>The Brightkite iPhone app demo that made the rounds yesterday, boom tadow, I&#8217;m in it! :)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/10/16/a-peek-at-brightkite-for-the-iphone/" target="_blank">Techcrunch</a> has a great write up.</p>

<div></div>
<div>Brightkite&#8217;s iPhone app, currently in private-ish (limited to 100 by Apple), is a truly great app, I can&#8217;t say more about it, but when it goes live, in the coming the months, it&#8217;s gonna be huge! It shows the value of not just the iPhone platform, making really cool and fun/easy to use applications, but also location aware applications.</div>
