Keep tabs on Brightkite, the location-based social network
During their Fix-it Day, FriendFeed added support Brightkite and our fellow TechStars team IntenseDebate.
Ping.fm and Hellotxt have also added support for Brightkite. We are excited about these third party services adding support for Brightkite. Keep watch over the next few weeks for our developer API which will enable seamless third party integration and interesting mashsups.
We are starting to see some great contributions emerge from the community of Brightkite users. We recently discovered these two:
Brightkite Blog Sidebar Widget
Kevin Hoyt built a neat flash based sidebar widget.
Brightkite Plugin for WordPress
Richard John wrote a Brightkite plugin for WordPress. Currently it will display your latest checkins, photos, and notes.
Joe Lazarus made a Brightkite Badge Widget using Yahoo Pipes. This easily configurable widget can be placed on your blog or web page and it will show your recent notes and photo posts.
We do have official Brightkite widgets in the works but meantime this is a great interim option. Thanks Joe!
