Recently active problems in Brightkite tagged with placemarks

Placemarks are sorted alphabetically. Places visited are sorted by the number of times visited. Both are good and valid methods of organizations, but can we have just one?

This is a problem on the web also, but it is particularly acute on the iPhone...

Yesterday I tried to check in 4 times -- 3 times from places that I have placemarks for & a 4th place where I gave the correct address. My check ins were not recorded because the system sent me e-mail responses asking me to confirm that I want to check in from those locations. I didn't get the e-mails until hours later, so I was unable to check in.

Why does the system request me to confirm that I want to check in at places where I set placemarks for? Isn't it obvious that the answer is "yes" since I used the placemark name? And why did it ask for confirmation when I entered the correct address? Finally, on Thursday I entered an address in Oakland, CA and I received a request to confirm that I wanted to check in from an address in Salt Lake City. Seems like it's a bit wonky.

I noticed that when I check in to my location, in my timeline I see duplicate check-ins mere seconds apart (I think). For the last week or so, my check-ins at home are doubled. What I think is happening is a UX bug: when I load my Placemarks page and "check in" for one, it logs a check-in. But then it automatically takes me to the location I clicked, with no visual confirmation that my check-in was already recorded. So I check-in again, which behaves the way I expect except it seems to log it twice (because of the no-message previous check-in).

I realize that now that I understand how it works, I could correct my behavior and only check in once. But I shouldn't have to. What you should do it make the Placemark page check-in link leave me on that page, and popup some other kind of confirmation message saying my check-in is complete. Change the button text or something. Taking me to my location page does nothing—I know the location, because I saved it to my placemarks. I don't need to see the page for it. Either leave me on Placemarks, or return me to my homepage with that checkin noted in my timeline.

When I checkin using saved placemarks the placemark is repeated in my twitter post. See below:
