Location provides context Apr29 '08
Brightkite allows you to post content in relation to your location. What this means is your update (text or photo) will inherit features of where you are.
Take, for example, the following Twitter update:
Wow that was a huge hit!
Unaware of the location that inspired this tweet, how would you know what the person is talking about?
Some would guess the person is at a baseball game. But they could be plenty of other places, including sitting on their couch watching the season premiere of a new television show.
Services like Brightkite and Fire Eagle provide geo-contextual information, which aids in understanding the nature of content.
