The new solution from Brightkite comes towards T-Mobile USA's users as a free, location-based service that enables them to meet people based on the locations they prefer. Customers have the possibility to browse in real time the profiles of people around them, take a look at what their friends are doing, post notes and photos, while also controlling their privacy.
“Working with T-Mobile as part of the Partner Network Program gave us all the tools and resources we needed to provide a mobile social networking experience that runs seamlessly on their network across a range of phones. Now the tens of millions of customers who are downloading new applications to their phones have access to one of the fastest-growing mobile social networks,” Brightkite’s CEO Jonathon Linner commented on the new announcement.
