I've been using Brightkite for two weeks, and I love the location-based features. However, I am really diggin' the "trusted" friends feature. I travel a lot, I'm a petite woman, and so my family worries about me being safe. I have made my family members "trusted" friends so they can see my exact whereabouts while everyone else just sees a locale.

If I could get a signal, I would post from: Playa Negra (Costa Rica), Sunset Beach (Oahu), 22nd Street (Newport Beach), Mavericks (Half Moon Bay), Bondi (Australia). :)

Trusted friend, nice point. That is sweet, but not definable unfortunately. I'd like some Facebook level security on that kinda stuff.

Great point, Drew. Facebook-style securite, with the beacon, would be great. Truth be told. If more of my Twitter friends were on Brightkite, I would switch. At the end of the day, I still really like the extended, however few, additional features Twitter does not offer.

I apologize. I meant "WITHOUT (Facebook) beacon".
