Unanswered topics in Brightkite tagged with location

I'd like to request more invites; I'm trying to get a strong group of local Brightkiters going at Oberlin College. I'm curious to see how the last week of school and following diaspora will affect a Brightkite community.

Thanks!

May I please have some invites? Pretty Please? There are not many people in here from my area. I also may get beat up when I tell them I was only given one invite!

I'd like to be able to check into a location (placename) and at the same time post a note from the Web UI (and later on via twitter and direct clients)
eg I'm @home just chillin'
[of course working out a way to include @home in a Tweet without sending a message to a user "home" might be an issue]
