I agree that compared to Brightkite it is not nearly as feature rich. But I am excited to see someone else entering into the field and generating other similar ways.

Twitter seems to be the main content feed for many sources, StreetMavens, Friendfeed, & Facebook. Hope that people start to diversify and grow each network independently..

I can’t see any real point to StreetMavens. Brightkite does a better job of attaching geodata to messages. In fact, most of StreetMaven’s alleged functionality can be duplicated by search.twitter.com. Don’t believe me? Compare:

http://streetmavens.com/city/detroit and http://search.twitter.com/search?near=Detroit%2C+MI

Looks like 99% of StreetMavens’s traffic is reposted from Twitter anyway.

Is iPhone 3.0 capable of addressing this?

Comment on Zhiing – easy directions for your smartphone by Victor Lund

Great post, and thanks for having a look at our application. At the pace which you travel, zhiing is likely to become a favorite app of yours.

The zhiing effort is aimed at a new category of communication, called “location messaging.” It is a rather radical advancement for a technology tool like the mobile phone to be cognizant of where it is! Leveraging this awareness enables the replacement of mundane tasks like giving directions.

We opine that location messaging needs to work as seamlessly as SMS messaging – all phones, all networks. This will enable consumer engagement in services to change.

Restaurants will confirm reservations with a zhiing.
Need a ride? zhiing a cab.
Find an address on the web – zhiing to phone.

And so on and so forth.

We look forward to future reviews – Android, and WinMo releases are around the corner – that will allow us to assert that all smart phones are zhiing enabled.

Yes, I found this limit just a few days after getting my iPhone. Perhps I’m just a free apps whore. Categores works fine but I havent found an equivalent for the business phone which we’ve decided not to jailbreak.
