Recently active topics in Brightkite tagged with address

We recently added my company to Google local in the hopes that it would then be available to check in with the "Name (Address)" format in Brightkite.

Am I wrong in assuming this is where that data comes from? How can I make this happen? I'd like to have the place name in there, rather than just the address.

Suggestion: A possibility in creating placemarks that we can keep private while still posting in public mode? Such as work or home that defualts a view for only our trusted network?

It would be great if you could specify somewhere in the FAQ what sorts of address information is accepted in what parts of the application. I submitted a check-in via email from my phone that gave my address in the form of an intersection of two streets. I tested the address previously by inputting it into Google Maps and it worked fine there. However, Brightkite reinterpreted it to mean something quite different. This was some time ago now and I don't have the exact response from Brightkite in front of me, but here's what I sent:

@ yellow springs rd and valley creek rd, valley forge, pa

which in Google Maps takes you to the correct location.

Brightkite checked me in at
Yellow Springs Rd, Malvern, PA 19355

Here's the permalink

I realize Brightkite probably can't parse every form of address information, but I notice that there are some things it can handle via web check-ins that it can't seem to deal with in an email. It would be useful to know which is which.

Thanks!

Is there a way to edit a "Place" address once you've checked into it? For example if you wanted to drill down a bit deeper in the location.

in the FAQ, it states that verizon users have to use the mobile email instead of SMS, but doesnt give the email addy :)

I keep typing in that I am on the West variant of a street, and BrightKite keeps asserting that there is only an East variant. For example, I live on West 6th and BK keeps changing it to East 6th.

Is there a way to placemark an address with an apartment letter appended to the end?

My address is 58A, but the address thingy returns 58, which isn't my apartment. If a friend is using bkite to find where I live, I'd really rather them ring my bell than my landlord's. ;)
