Have We Reached the Brightkite Tipping Point?

Back in May I wrote about Brightkite and asked whether or not Brightkite would be able to overcome the hurdles that Dodgeball wasn’t able to. While it’s debatable whether or not there were hurdles or Google just let the product die, the bottom line is that Dodgeball failed. Years later Brightkite was announced and initially I thought it would suffer the same fate.
