    Periodic Auto Check-in using GPS (iPhone) Last reply on July 03, 2008 20:37.

    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.

    Automatic Check-ins == You Win Last reply on June 30, 2008 01:06.

    The single best thing you could do for BrightKite is make checking in automatic, so my phone *totally automatically* tells my friends where I am. I want the service to be invisible. I'm constantly forgetting to check into my new places, and it seems silly that I need to remember to do so in order to make good use of the service. It's a huge weakness.

    Auto-nudge Last reply on April 17, 2008 03:35.

    I think it would be a a great feature if my account prompted me to "check-in" if I haven't checked-in after a certain specifiable time frame. Similar to the way twitter has "Auto-nudge". I can see that we have the ability to prompt our friends but I'd rather rely on Brightkite than on my friends to remind me.
