Brightkite Blog » Saying goodbye to check-ins, posts and streams

Starting from 17th December, you can expect to see the check-in/posting and streams functions start to disappear from our apps and sites. These features were the defining element to our company 2 and 3 years ago, but we no longer believe they are sufficiently unique or defining to be our focus, so we are dropping them.

really not happy to read that. i liked brightkite a lot for exactly these features and better privacy options than gowalla and foursquare, never used grouptext though. it's good for companies to focus and move on. but probably i won't move along with them

check.in - one checkin to rule them all

check.in takes the hassle out of checking in on multiple services. Check in once! Coming soon!

 

i was asking for #lati4wallakite for fun a few times before. ;)
it's quite stressing to check into gowalla, foursquare, brightkite, latitude, whrrl,... one after another. check.in is a solution to this hopefully.
and hopefully it comes along with appropriate privacy options.
interesting to read that it's from the brightkite guys

"What you're seeing is a real-time stream of what's going on in Austin, TX for SXSW. If you leave your browser window open you'll see the last 15 minutes stream by rather quickly and, from that point forward, new activity happening in Austin!"

brightkite, twitter, foursquare, gowalla, bump, flickr,.... 

all in one map.

mission statement 

"The danger is publicly telling people where you are. This is because it leaves one place you’re definitely not… home. So here we are; on one end we’re leaving lights on when we’re going on a holiday, and on the other we’re telling everybody on the internet we’re not home. It gets even worse if you have “friends” who want to colonize your house. That means they have to enter your address, to tell everyone where they are. Your address.. on the internet.. Now you know what to do when people reach for their phone as soon as they enter your home. That’s right, slap them across the face.

The goal of this website is to raise some awareness on this issue and have people think about how they use services like Foursquare, Brightkite, Google Buzz etc." ( see http://pleaserobme.com/why )
