Yay!! I can't wait for Brightkite to come out for Android.
Can anybody send me an invitation please ?
Any plans for Google G1?
Any reason why the app wouldn't pick up my location? Looking at it now and it just says "Finding you…" and keeps working without finding anything. It is getting my location, bc when I hit "pick a place," it finds places near me. Just not locating me on the front screen.
it's really good, guys… nice work!
Wow, awesome! Testing it out now, definitely gonna give you guys 5 stars for the itunes review!
Nice thanks guys – looks great!
I got it from the app store and tried to get an invite( i guess that is how you get an account) but nothing in email yet and in the app when i try to get one it says still in private beta? so how do i get to use this application?
If you need an invite just send me a DM on twitter (@waynesutton ) or a tweet reply with your email address & I'll send you an invite.
Also I just recorded a video demo of brightkite here: http://iphonesinrtp.com/2008/10/21/iphone-app-vid...
Geat job on the app guys.
Oh it's amazing. I just drove around the block just to play around with it, and was amazed at how well it found all of the stuff around me, even in the middle of a very remote Atlanta suburb… loopt couldn't even figure out what *city* I was in, but this app told me the exact address, and every restaurant and store there. Man… I hope you guys have some massive servers and bandwidth.. 'cause this is going to take off once people see how well it works. :) Now we just need a facebook app. *runs* (kidding; the RSS feeds will work for now).
Congrats… thank-you
You rox ;)
oh so nice.. been waiting a long time on this and it has been worth the wait. The app is amazing. Great job!
As for the Brightkite iPhone app's "Guess My Location"/"Find Me". Is it using Loki Mobile?
Hi there, The app looks nice. I'm running on an iTouch it works but I keep getting a "having trouble finding you" error, even though I have finding turned off.
Hey Brady & Co — my stupid friends (heh) are whining because of the beta thing. Maybe you guys should put something on the app page that explains the private beta thing so people don't download it and get all whiney and 1-star it in the App store?
I tried to explain to 'em that you guys have to make sure the iPhone client doesn't overload servers/etc, but they're still … well… whiney. Maybe I just need better friends… ;-)
Tell your friends to use the following link to sign up: http://brightkite.com/account/signup?invite_code=... The app description says you need an invite but maybe its not apparent enough. We are fixing it now. The next release will have sign up built in :)
YAY! I'm so excited. Trying to get all my friends to sign up now.
I tried it yesterday all the day, it's really good, nice job guys…!
We are actively developing for Brightkite for Android.
Android?
Send a SASE to 2911 Walnut st, Denver CO. We will send you some :)
Best app ever! Great job!
Random question (I don't know where else to ask stupid little questions like this, since it doesn't belong in the support system), but how can I score one of those awesome BrightKite stickers I've seen on a car or two here in town? ;-)
Hey xtex404, you can send a self addressed stamped envelope to:
