Let's have a Blackberry application! Why should iPhone users have all the fun? It would be great to have even just a little of the awesome functionality of the BrightKite website on my Blackberry.
So I inputed my mobile / cell phone number, but never received my confirmation number. Is this because it's Canada and not the U.S.? Or is there something else going on? (My phone is a Blackberry Pearl 8130, FYI).
brightkite post never posted to twitter, I checked in and posted from my iphone last night and it never posted to twitter. I checked in this morning from my computer at work and it still has not been posted to twitter.
How cool would it be if you could take the data you input and see a chart that shows where you spend the most time?! For example, my chart would probably show that I spend far too much time at work. It'd be interesting to see your friends charts too, almost like a social experiment on where people are spending their time the most.
Allow sub-location check-ins. After checking in with "@location", use "#sublocation". This is different from a 'say', because it's a refinement of the location.
Examples:
"@rec center", "#in the pool"
"@work", "#conference room 3"
"@Hacienda Colorado", "#The Tequila Room"
When I send in commands (check in's, photos, etc) by email they post to my account twice. All the commands work like I expect, they just show up twice.
BK double posted to Twitter this morning. What happened was ping.fm pushed the status update to BK which then posted to Twitter (I have BK set to do that). Five minutes later the same post was posted to Twitter again from BK. It was in BK only once.
would love it if there was a mobile version of the site. also it'd be good if there was an API and a desktop client. maybe compatibility with other services like twitter, jaiku, dopplr... :)
I have noticed that some of my friends don't get listed in the friendstream when they check in but they do get updated in the "Active Friends" list. Is this by design?
since i tried to reply to a previous post and got no response, i've decided to post a new topic with the same thing
I've tried emailing photos a few times from my phone to the email address on my "Mobile" page, but nothing's appearing on the site. Any suggestions as to what's up? I've tried emailing from my computer and laptop as well with no success.
It would be really cool to utilize the XFN standard. This can help Brightkite share and work well with other social sites. In case you are not familiar with XFN it could be a simple as:
hyperlinks to my page would include a rel='me' tag.
links to friends could would include a rel='friend' tag.
Digg and Twitter currently use XFN. And I can see many aggregation apps looking for it. I just saw a presentation by Don Park who spoke about XFN and a XFN spider he wrote. Very interesting.

I really like the site and am excited for you!

I am from the Netherlands and I am soon going to buy an iPhone. I believe Brightkite is very promising since it is one of the best location based services outhere for Europeans, and unlike Loopt its free. My issue:
I believe this service to be only very successful if it can run completely automatically. With this i mean that the application runs in the background (in the iPhone's case with the push service apple provides) giving periodic checkins wherever i might be, continuously, every 5 or 10 minutes or so. I hope this is possible to implement, optional at-least. Please let me hear from one of the people inside the company if this option is or will be in the pipeline.
I love Brightkite! But I LOVE the convenience of using JOTT.com to update everythng fromTwitter to letting my wife know when I'll be home for dinner. How can I Jott to BrightKite?
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 ^_^
