Brightkite, the Social Discovery Network, today announced that its free social discovery network is now available to T-Mobile USA customers with data plans in the web2go catalogue. T-Mobile web2go provides a storefront that customers can access and browse from the company’s broad lineup of phones.
T-Mobile USA customers can access Brightkite’s free, location-based service to meet people based on the places they go. In real-time, users can browse profiles of people around them, see what their friends are up to, post photos and notes to places they visit, all while maintaining comprehensive control over privacy.
Brightkite’s CEO Jonathon Linner comments, “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.”
“As a company focused on providing innovative mobile experiences that enrich social connections, we’re thrilled to add Brightkite to our web2go catalogue,” said Venetia Espinoza, Director, Applications and Partner Programs at T-Mobile USA. “Our T-Mobile Partner Network Program provides a no-hassle way for companies like Brightkite to bring these new experiences to life for millions of our subscribers.”
