Brightkite Now Available in the Android Market!
We have exciting news for our Android users — Brightkite is now available in the Android market! This is our latest application, after our iPhone app, and we have extended the user experience and functionality to the Android platform while taking advantage of the features that are unique to Android. As TechCrunch mentioned, we have an even smoother interface and we’ve added some cool, new features. The Android app includes integrated Google Maps and background notifications, so now you won’t need to open the app to know you have a direct message or friend request!
To quote TechCrunch: “If you liked what you saw of the iPhone app, you’ll probably like the Android app just as much — if not more.”
As with all things Brightkite, the app can be downloaded for free – so stop by the Android Market and check it out! Please don’t hesitate to give us your feedback — we’d love to hear what you think!

You guys couldn't pick a better screenshot? LOL
One of the smoothest Android apps I've used so far. The mobile site was great, but this is soo much better.

Very nice application and thanks for being one of the few social networking sites to make an Android app.
Nice work guys!
