    Brightkite became my favorite as soon as I received my invite code. Location-Aware; Small, tight-knit community; photo posts; inline post-comments that are not character length crippled; the best looking and functioning apps no matter which platform ... cross-posts .... etc.

    A micro blog that's superior to Twitter in every way. Photo posting is part of the site, so you don't have to go through TwitPic. The community is smaller, so people are more focused on actually socializing, rather than spamming you with messages about their affiliate marketing ponzi scheme. And the apps for iPhone and Android for the site are brilliant, which they would need to be for a geo-social network.

    And of course, you can always cross post to Twitter, so you can maintain your presence there as well. Brightkite is just more fun.

    BrightKite is a unique approach to social networking. It is more of a "where are you?" tool than a social network though.

    After having used it for a while I'm now not sure anymore what is the use of this, so I've stopped using it.

    Love this - better than Twitter but not as many users - check it out though - it is the best social network I've come across.
