Recently active ideas in Brightkite tagged with placemarks

It would good to be able to edit placemarks. Currently you can either checkin or delete only.

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

Check in from the website should be streamlined

I think the placemarks page should automatically be sorted by popularity. I have to dig down to the last page to check in to work.

Just a thought

It is nice that I can change the order of placemarks by drag and drop, since I want to put "home" and "work" always at the top.

It is also good to be ordered by number of "visits".

This might be available but maybe not, but I would love an area in the placemarks page that lists popular or common placemarks for my general vicinity that I could add to my personal placemarks. Then I wouldn't have to search to add them manually. I'm thinking airports, landmarks, etc.

I'd like the option to have check-ins for certain Placemarks not be published to Twitter. People on Twitter don't need to see when I arrive at work then back home, but perhaps when I'm out doing other things, folks on Twitter might be interested to know this.

Dear BrightKite Guys,

On my iPhone, from the location page (eg. I am at home, little map visible, options: checkin, post a not or a photo, place stream, visitors), I would like access to my placemarks and visited places, so I can change locations from that screen. Also, I would like to be able to create a placemark from my phone. Thanks. Just somethings I've noticed this weekend.

It would be neat if after you rename a location to a placemark at the top of your page it shows the placemark name instead of the address at the top. Perhaps containing the address next to it in smaller text.

It would just be nice when my address takes up two lines and I name it "Home" that it would take up less space. Thanks!

I think some attention could be paid to the way locations are shared outside of Brightkite. I really like the privacy levels you allow us to set for Brightkite users, but my entire home address gets sent to Twitter since I have that sharing feature turned on. I don't really want that to happen.

I'd rather stick with only allowing my trusted Brightkite friends to see my home address, and perhaps something like a location alias being sent to Twitter and other external services. So when I SMS that I'm @home, my Brightkite friends can see my full address, but maybe the Twitter message is simply "David's @home."

I would like to be able to create placemarks via the placemarks screen in my profile. Not just for places I have been, but places I may go. On my new account, I would like to setup my home, work locations, club, marina, etc. ahead of time so I can reference them when I am out.

When I accept a new friendship request, I think the acceptance date should define the date limit from which visited places and placemarks should be viewable to these new friends.

Ex: If I accept Dave on April 26th, 2008, he should only be able to see places and placemarks I was at from April 26th and forward. Nothing before that date.

On a privacy level, that is more logical to me. Perhaps you could add something like this in the profile section:

[ ] Show past (before friendship date) places and placemarks to friends

Thanks - Martin
