BrightKite checkins to trigger location based reminders.
When BrightKite releases their API, I'd like my checkins on BrightKite to be able to trigger reminders from Sandy. So, I could say, "Sandy, remind me to talk with Professor Smith about the Awesome Initiative next time I'm at school." Then, when I checkin at school, Sandy could know I'm at school and can talk with Professor Smith. Of course, BrightKite apps (like what is coming in June for iPhone if their job listings are any indication) would be able (either via GPS or the current method) to automatically check in.
Perhaps this is something that BrightKite would need to allow users to configure and post notifications to Sandy rather than Sandy polling BrightKite's API. Either way, I think this could be a really powerful tool for managing location specific tasks and reminders.

Inappropriate?Great idea...our API should enable that.

Inappropriate?Martin, if it could be flexible enough to work with Backpack as well that would be great. I personally use the two services for different kinds of information.
I’m happy.
