Location-based social network Brightkite jumped onto Gnip this morning and is now pushing event notifications for a variety of user actions

“Brightkite is now publishing all public activity, including checkins, notes and photos to Gnip for easy consumption by 3rd party aggregation services. Integrating Gnip was a breeze: it took us about 20 minutes from looking at the API docs to deploying a working implementation.

Welcome to the club, guys; I hope that you find your load goes down and your distribution goes up!
