BrightKite is good for posting photos and I find that Loopt is better suited to see where your friends are in relation to your location. I live in Atlanta and think its pretty cool to ping my friends to see where they are using Loopt. I am trying to make this technology more than just a novelty but at this point, that's exactly what it is...I see using LBS's in emergency response very useful. Especially with BrightKite because you can check in to a location using SMS which I think every phone in the world has now! Check out this quick comparison on compete.com. I would put my money on BrightKite! http://siteanalytics.compete.com/brightkite.com+loopt.com+whrrl.com/?metric=uv Adam Jesse,
