BrightKite iPhone App Puts You on the Map

By Scott Gilbertson October 21, 2008 Categories: Mobile, Software & Tools


Brightkite for the iPhone from Brightkite on Vimeo.

The location based social network, Brightkite has release an iPhone app. The company recently posted the video preview above which shows the very slick looking app in action.

As Adam pointed out in his coverage of WhereCamp PDX, one of the big problems with location-aware apps is the need to manually update your info. While Brightkite’s iPhone app doesn’t eliminate that need, it does make it pretty simple — just open the app and it’ll automatically figure out where you are and offer to update your Brightkite account.

Once Brightkite knows where you and your iPhone are, the app offers all the same features of the site — find friends nearby, see what other users are up to and more — in a nice, iPhone-sized interface.

The new app is free and you can download it from the iTunes App Store (App Store link).
