I realize I’m a day short of November but I finally got my photos from my San Francisco trip last month up! I was in San Francisco from September 3-13 for TechCrunch50 with a few extra days padded on to the beginning and end to explore the city, as I somehow had not made it out there previously. I stayed with my friend Eddie at The Hat Factory in Potrero (thanks Eddie!) and he served as a fantastic tour guide for the first half of my trip. See the photos below, there are stories behind all of them and more than a handful I left out. If you’re curious for more info, click the photo and it will take you to my Flickr page which should offer a little more.
Brightkite is a location-based social network. In real time you can see where your friends are and what they’re up to. Depending on your privacy settings you can also meet others nearby.
I use it often via text message or mobile browser but this will be greatly helpful moving forward and likely increase my usage of the site due to it’s ease. I also use Brightkite to update my Twitter profile’s location. One thing I like about Brightkite over similar services is the ability to upload photos and notes in correlation with the most location you have checked in to. You are also able to set up your Brightkite profile to post all of your posts to your Twitter profile and have filtering options to determine which types of posts to push.
Blog Action Day is an annual nonprofit event that aims to unite the world’s bloggers, podcasters and videocasters, to post about the same issue on the same day.
