BrightKite Beta Invites

After seeing Tweets about Brightkite from the Viddler Guys, Colin and Sandie, and after reading Colins post about a Viddler tshirt and BrightKite giveaway, I decided to sign up and find out what Brightkite is all about.

Brightkite is described as Location-based social networking, which allows you to Discover who visits your favorite places.

I don’t have a lot of knowledge about Brightkite, but I do have access to 5 invites, if you would want to receive one. I know, you already belong to way too many social networking sites, and really don’t have time to get involved with another.

Well Brightkite seems to be a social networking site that you can use while you are out and about, and will enable you to actually physically meet some other users. I can also see myself using it when I am doing restaurant reviews for thegrubhound or while writing for our travelblog.

So far, I added Lizzie, and drubyt, who was the first person to request that I add him. I also uploaded the picture above that was taken by my pool, and geo tagged the photo. Well, it actually tags the photos with your current location, and I am not exactly sure if that is the same as Geotagging. It does place the picture on a map which marks your current location. I am not exactly sure if I can add photos once I get home and then adjust their map location. Nope, I believe you need to adjust your location to be where the picture was taken, and then you can upload the photo to make the location be more accurate.

You can also set your profile to private so that only your peeps will be able to see where you are taking that risque photo.

Well if anyone would like a Brightkite invite, let me know.

If you use Brightkite, what do you think of it, and do you have any tips?

Digital Photo Keychain Prize

I won a digital photo keychain from TodaysGizmos.com when they held a blog contest. To enter the contest, all you had to do was write a post about the contest and do a review of the Digital Photo Keychain contest sponsor, which happened to be Wholesalekeychain.com

Upon notification that I was one of three winners, I was contacted by Todaysgismos.com and had to give them my contact info along with what I would like to have inscribed on the keychain.

My mom is getting this digital photo keychain with a bunch of pictures of her grandchildren for her birthday.

I just wanted to write a post thanking both Loren of Todaysgismos.com and Wholesalekeychain.com for the opportunity to give my mom the digital photo keychain.
