Based on that, I'll skip it for now. Thanks... I appreciate the info.

It's billed as a location-based social network and integrates with others. I'ts competitors are Foursquare and Gowalla amongst others. There was a bit of a brewhaha when the CEO at some point last year made some comments to some journalists which later got included in an article which seemed misogynistic to many. I haven't heard much since then, so I don't know if that ever got resolved. What annoyed me was that there app costs money whereas the other providers don't. Gowalla has a nice-looking app, but I've been to a lot of places that didn't exist in there database and there's no way to add a new one - at least not via the mobile app. Foursquare is about to come out with a new version of Pre app which will have UI improvements as well as new features, some of which aren't on any other mobile client. The other thing is that I see tweets all the time from people via Foursquare updates, but almost never on Gowalla and literally never with Brightkite...
