Twitter/BrightKite/NetVibe

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

So, I have recently been using BrightKite and Twitter a lot.   I really like them.  In case you don’t know here is a short explanation with both:

  • BrightKite (bkite.com):  This is a location log.  You create an account and then when you go somewhere you “check-in”.  Then  you can see who is checked in near you as well as photos of this location.  Its kind of cool, this service also updates Twitter.  (Its in beta, so you need an invite, let me know if you want one).
  • Twitter (twitter.com): This is a versatile mini-blog utility.  Post are limited to 140 chars.  Updates can be made from iGoogle, Cell, Netvibes, and others. This is a cool think because you jot something small, and you can see what other people are thinking.
  • NetVibes (netvibes.com): This is a cool alternative to iGoogle. I enjoy it.
