Brightkite can now guess your location right from your wi-fi connected laptop. Mozilla Labs recently released Geode, an extension that will fetch your current location. We’ve integrated Geode making it effortless to reveal your location to Brightkite. If you are not using Firefox, Brightkite will guess your location using the Loki plugin.
To try out the Geode plugin:
- Download and install the latest Mozilla Firefox web browser.
- Read the Geode blog post. Download and install Geode.
- Restart Firefox.
- Make sure you are connected via wi-fi and visit the Guess My Location page.
If you are not using FireFox and Geode, Brightkite will use Loki to guess your location. To try out the Loki plugin:
- Make sure you are connected via wi-fi and visit the Guess My Location page.
- You will be prompted to install the Loki Plugin. Install the Loki plugin and it will automatically guess your location.
At Brightkite we are always working on ways to make revealing your location easier. We hope you enjoy the Guess My Location feature as much as we do.
