Brightkite Hires Tom Anderson

October 31st, 2008

We’re happy to announce that we just hired Tom Anderson. We’d like to welcome Tom to our team, and are also happy to announce that starting today, nobody on Brightkite has to be friend-less anymore; Tom will be your friend automatically when you sign up. Hey, it worked for MySpace ;)

All kidding aside, we DID hire Tom Anderson, but our Tom was hired for his exceptional engineering qualities rather than semi-celebrity status. And don’t worry, we were only joking about the auto-friending; if you want, you can request his friendship here, but be warned: we hear that our Tom is pickier than MySpace Tom about who his friends are.

You have a friend on Brightkite

    But did he take the blue pill or the red pill?

    Hi Alex.
    We are really excited to have Tom! BTW a Guidespot / Brightkite mash up would be cool. Check out our API when you get a chance.
