What is the format for messages? I've seen no example messages anywhere. I believe I can say "I'm @placename message here" but only if the place is in my list of places. This will then list the location and post the message to my Brightkite friends and other connected social networks.
I've added places and photos for them, but how do I say I'm at a place not shown in my list of places?
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...
Wish you could add a default tag for a place. It should be the general accepted last title. More spaces for tags would help. need name, city for most tags.
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
