Another cool app for Android out today is Urban Kite, an app which lets you add comments to particular points of interest in your area. The nice thing about Urban Kite is that its points of interest are populated by Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Local and the comments are made through Twitter and bit.ly. Being able to share your thoughts on a particular restaurant without worrying that they’ll just be sent to a sheltered community that is used only by those who install the app can be a deterrent for these kind of services, but if your comments are going out to Twitter and Google as well, it’s easy to see Urban Kite getting popular. A feature coming soon sounds pretty interesting: “Discover like-minded local experts in your area via the places you have in common and find out what else they do for kicks in the neighbourhood”. A bit of a match-making service, no? Check it out on the Android Market, or swing by their site for more info. Can we get a BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) version soon?


UrbanKite is now out for the iPhone too
