I like this idea. Right now I have to use Navizon GPS which sucks up a lot of battery power, and it updates to Fire Eagle, which Brightkite hasn't fully integrated yet.

A dedicated Brightkite Blackberry app would be fantastic!

I just started getting Google Calendar messages and was able to post to Twitter this week.

Just use HelloTxt.com. It updates ALL the microblogging sites in one go! You can either send an email, sms or use the mobile site.

Even I am searching for it friend. I think it is not possible.

I believe the twitterberry guys are working on a bk app for the blackberry, lets hope its not too far away. – mcdent, on September 01, 2008 18:48

I'll check this out, totally missed that one. – mcdent, on September 01, 2008 18:47

yes brightkite relies so much on being used whilst mobile, most people don't have a laptop with them whilst down the pub or walking the dog etc, thats where brightkite comes in to its own.
Having a decent mobile app for this will make it a great experience. – mcdent, on September 01, 2008 18:46

Yes we simply must have a BB app for brightkite. I mean the mobile app works but we are missing out on so much functionality without a proper app.
Fingers crossed!

I'm really curious - why go iphone first instead of blackberry? Blackberry would seem the logical choice give a much larger installed user base . . .

Yes, but picture updates still aren't possible. – Kichigai, on August 30, 2008 00:27

That's what I've got going on, but it's still a two-address system, and I often prefer to upload images through the website as opposed to uploading them via e-mail. – Kichigai, on August 30, 2008 00:24

There is a google messenger program for the blackberry, you can use that and the GTalk bot to update all your statuses from the Blackberry, or you can send via e-mail.

Why not setup BrightKite in Ping and just update Ping which would update your BrightKite account. – RCourtade, on August 30, 2008 00:09

I like this too. I'd love to see Ping.FM pull updates from BrightKite (so I only have to update one service, instead of two).

Is there at least some plan to still add a customized prefix? I don't care for the "User says:" prefix :( – TheLocehiliosan, on August 27, 2008 13:07

Twitter is not designed for the masses to respond. This is like you and I talking "hey, Michelle, what's up? What are you doing right now" Maybe I want to go shoe shopping and want to find out if you are free. With this I have to stop what I am doing, text, email, or track you down by phone. Maybe I can't find you. You might be outside with the dog. Anyway, it is a brief update of ....what you are doing. ie "I have to run pick up dinner. or out to drop off book back by 2. That's it. Brief and to the point. You invite your friends to join Twitter so you are all sort of Tweeting an update. Sometimes I just want to put a sledge hammer through something, so I Tweet out a frustration and I am fine. Or maybe i just discovered the cure for too many red bulls, and i know some people would love to hear. When you start skimming through the "EVERYONE" tweets your eye might catch something funny or of interest. So you follow that person. That person receives a note saying you are following. They will likely check YOU out and possibly follow you. As you build your friend and new friends follow list, the more people follow you. Twitter is not designed to address the masses, although if you have built up a follow list that is large you have a little mass. But, even with that there is no guarantee that someone following you will respond. I made a crack to a bird dog funny guy last night. He had a date and I didn't get a response for over an hour. My last comment (I was being a smart ---, he didn't even comment back. So you see, its like pen pals with strangers, and quick wit with friends. There are what is called "meetups". People that live near each other get together at a local pub. I was invited to one for tomorrow night. Maybe 9 or 10 folks, but, some of my Tweet companions. I have never met them, and maybe we won't have anything to say much in person. Some people do better when they are not confronted head on. But, I would thing if they plan to attend a meetup they like to chat it up. If getting yourself out to the masses is an important issue for you I have resources for plenty of web based sites. (Free and nearly free) If interactive response is what you are looking for you'll be more interested in a site that also lets you host a secation to blog. There are scads of different kinds of networks. I can be rather ditzy when it comes to the techy parts, but I will be happy to pass on all you want from me. Hope this helps. Follow me all you want. Send my direct messages if you don't want your biz gauked at by others. I will do anything I CAN TO HELP. -Linda (aka BluButterfly) lharrison.butterfly695@gmail.com
