Could the name of our placemarks be what is passed to twitter? I don't want the universe knowing my location, but my friends know where my home is and if they want to find locations that I check into they can investigate/ask me.
It would appear that the pay-as-you-go service called Cricket Phone is not fully-supported. I can send pictures and text via email to my personalized user@bkite.com address, no problem, but I cannot do the "registration" of my phone with your web site so I can't TXT the 80289 number with a msg.
Although I know you cannot list every single fly-by-night service that comes out, perhaps you could list which pay-as-you go phones work and which do not, just as you note that Verizonwireless (contract accounts) don't work with bkite. A page of "phone services supported" linked from the Mobile tab / page would be nice.
Hi, is there any way to make a post public if the lock happens to be closed on that post (next to the trash can)?
I probably uploaded & posted the photos while I was in private mode, but I really didn't mean to be in that mode so when I switched back to public, I expected the status for my posts to change, but they seem to be "locked" in that state.
The trash can/delete next to the lock is clickable, but the lock is not. Do I have to delete and upload the photos again in public mode for them to be public? That would suck...
It would be nice if we could toggle if a checkin is public or private, OR have the ability to mark a location as "Always Private".
My biggest gripe with brightkite is having to delete checkins because I forgot to toggle my private status before I checkin at my house, and/or, forgetting to toggle when I leave my house and marking places private that can be public.
For some reason, when i update to a placemark, twitter doesn't update my location (as a tweet, not as the location in profile). But notes and photos work fine. Ideas?
Maybe you're already working on this, but how about when I send a photo from a location, you put that photo in my flickr stream in a set of my choosing with the proper location tags/metadata and other tags I may want to add.
I know I could just cc flickr on a picture email from my phone, but it would be cool to get the photo and useful location info to both places (bkite and flickr) in one step.
Perhaps you could also add some machine tags a la Upcoming.org so the flickr photo links back to my bkite post?
After I delete a check in from my profile, I am taken to my friends view. Seems like a poor user experience because I want to delete other things. I want to stay on my personal stream.
In the Around Me page, it would be handy to have a Map view similar to the one you can get when viewing an individual user's locations. Since the checkins are usually long addresses that aren't as intuitive as "3rd and Spring" I don't really process the data that quickly. When I want to know what's going on around me, I want to "look around," not read a list -- and the closer something is to me on the map, the more likely I am to care. If I could see a map of who has checked in around me and posts from the area, that would provide a very handy summary of where I am and what there is to do.
Maybe the map could have a time filter like "Show checkins/posts from the last ( )hour ( )day ( ) week ( ) all time" etc.
i've activated twitter and checked »When I check in at a place, post my checkin to Twitter.«.
i've customized the variables to show »$place - $link«.
for »$place« it says »place name«. but my tweets show up like this: http://twitter.com/poolie/statuses/85...
It would be nice if you could have privacy settings on individual placemarks so that, for instance, my home address is hidden, but places i visit aren't
i'm not receiving mobile updates to my friends locations. I'll receive stuff that they say but it won't tell me when they check into a new location. It's been this way for about 24 hours.
New iPhone software has geotag information inserted into iPhone pictures. Why not read the location from this information, save us the trouble of having to say where we're at :) Take a look at my (BadPirate) first photo post in an editor that lets you see EXIF to see what I'm talking about.
