Hey Guys,

 I just wanted to continue my series on different microblogging platforms, and today I want to talk about Brightkite.com. You can view my Brightkite Profile Here. So let's talk about what makes brightkite very interesting.

With Brightkite I can still make my typical microblog posts like I can on twitter and the other platforms I've talked about but I can use GPS and pinpoint the location of what's occuring in my posts. A really killer feature is being able to click on a location and see all the brightkite posts that were posted from that location.

This is useful in many ways:

- It creates ways to connect with people in your local market and see what they are talking about to the very location

- You can use the features to create contests and event that can motivate people to create messages from a central place and in result create brand community on top of the in general conversations online

- If you get kidnapped but still have your phone you can post your location...

- This could also be useful in conjunction with forming meetup groups as a way for people to check in with  each other at a central location

So brightkite has some killer features that will definetly probably give it some bigger wings as more people adopt smartphone technology and post from activity to activity.
