Hotspotr -- my community-driven WiFi hotspot site -- announced a content-providing partnership with LightPole today. You can read the press release over at http://lightpole.net/press/index.html.

Hotspotr lists over 8,000 user-contributed WiFi hotspots. LightPole provides a mobile client you can use to browse Hotspotr from your mobile phone using an interactive, maps-based interface:

You can download the LightPole mobile client for free from the Hotspotr homepage.

Separately, Hotspotr is also taking advantage of the Google Maps streetview functionality. For locations where streetview is available, you will have the option to browse the 3-d streetview imagery:

See an example at the Dolores Park Cafe in San Francisco.

Wow!

We thought you’d like Scout – but we didn’t expect to reach our 100 account limit in about an hour and a half.

We’re already collecting feedback and gearing up for the next launch.

Don’t worry if you didn’t get in this time – we’re collecting lots of feedback for our full launch.

If you’re need some more help getting Scout configured, have some feedback, want help writing a plugin, or just want to chat about Scout, drop by our public chat room or forums.

Thanks, and stay tuned for the launch!
