Last night, Brightkite announced that it has merged with Limbo. The resulting company, which will be called Brightkite, recently closed a $9 million financing . I’m psyched for Martin, Brady, and the Brightkite crew as this merger positions them really strongly for their next phase of growth.
Brightkite was a member of the TechStars 2007 class. They’ve crafted an outstanding mobile social networking app that really started to take off after the release of their excellent iPhone app . It’s become one of my signaling devices for where I am in the world – if you want to keep track of me friend and follow me on Brightkite .
Congrats guys – I’m looking forward to seeing what the future brings!
Off for a run on the Embarcadero (without my iPhone this time.)
