Brightkite Badge Widget

I was searching for a Brightkite badge this morning and couldn’t find one, so I took a few minutes to make one.  Brightkite is a slick new tool for sharing short status updates that include your location.  If you’re a Brightkite member, you can grab a badge for your blog or site here.  Just enter your Brightkite user name, click “Run Pipe”, and then select “Get as a Badge”.  From there, you can customize the height and width of the widget and copy the code into your web page.  I’m thinking about using Brightkite to post my Twitter updates so I can include location information and photos.  I really like the concept and their site + iPhone app look great.  If you have any feedback on the badge, let me know in the comments. 

Also, if anyone wants a Brightkite invite, I have 5 left.  Just leave your email or some other contact info in the comments.
