Brightkite Winds Down, Says It Will Come Back With Something Better (Again)

BrightkiteRemember Brightkite? Launched with the help of TechStars back in August 2007, the location-based 'check-in' service once rivaled the likes of Foursquare and Gowalla, but never really got the traction it needed to keep on competing and win the day: the startup killed the check-in functionality about a year ago to focus on group texting.It's been quiet about Brightkite ever since, and the company's two founders moved on long before the pivot to group texting was announced, starting a new venture dubbed Forkly (our review).Now, a reader tells us, it appears Brightkite (which remained the name even after their 2009 merger with Limbo) is changing course again.
