    Well I'm glad to have a quick reply, that's a good sign ^_^

    I don't know what you mean by "push", but I do know there are 2 more sites I would like to see, personally: Google Bookmarks, and Google Calendar. I don't know how good the APIs are for them, or if they even have them.

    Like I said earlier, the wordpress one really made me sad. I have a blog that's powered by wordpress, but it's not on wordpress.org, it's on my own personal server. I know that they can be connected to though, as I have used scribefire with my blog without problems. And going along with the blogs, even though it doesn't apply to me, I'm a little surprised not to see blogger or other types of blogs listed.

    I'm really glad to hear about the RSS feeds, I'm missing one or two things because the RSS implementation doesn't work completely right. I can't get my google Reader things and I can't get my Picasa things. I think that's it, but I'm not totally sure.

    If you need any help, I'll be glad to do what I can. I'm a little busy lately, but I'm always willing to help out a good beta get up and at'em.

    Good idea, not so good implementation. Could use some work.
    Combo seems to be a little bit less than what I thought it would be. It seems that it only reads from these sites, and doesn't post to them. With the exception of facebook and media sites, I haven't been able to post to any site. Wordpress only works with the wordpress.org hosted blogs, despite the fact that not everyone uses that, many wordpress owners use their own webhost.

    It seems that it needs quite a bit of work before it can be released into public beta, at least in my eyes. It doesn't seem to make full use of all of the APIs, and it doesn't seem to update everything that I've signed up for. It also seems to have problems updating things that it doesn't need a password for, claiming the "RSS feed is not available". I think it could be an awesome service, if it gets quite a bit of work.

    Of course, I could have just missed it. If I just missed it, than the layout needs a bit of work. But that's not quite as bad ^_^

    A comment on the idea "How about more integration and a new API?" in Brightkite:

    Excellent. I have been thinking about writing an iPhone app for it, though it was just a thought, I may not have time to. Good luck with your testing ^_^ if you want/need help, feel free to contact me [sjos0001 at gmail dot com] – Spencer, on July 08, 2008 16:17

    How about more integration and a new API?
    This is a great service. There are just a couple more things I want to see.

    I was going to say better twitter integration, but I just figured out how to do it. So not that. I want to see more ways to find friends, like gmail contacts, facebook friends, myspace, etc. Perhaps an API (if you haven't made one yet that I missed) so that it can be integrated with websites and programs. Perhaps even more in-depth integration with social networking sites than I mentioned.

    And more invites. More invites = good. Assuming, of course, your servers can handle it. Don't want the same thing happen here that happened to twitter ^_^
