On the Account Settings page, on the Sharing tab, BrightKite should prevent me or warn me about entering my Twitter settings if I have my BrightKite set to Private.
Because otherwise I expect it to post what I have checked to my Twitter, and when it does not, I then have to go and search for why it's not working. I did find the answer here, in the Get Satisfaction website, but the way it currently functions seems counter-intuitive.
I hope this comes across as a critique and not as criticism, and I hope it helps to make your product better! (Yay Beta products!)
The title says it all. Somehow someway I posted some stuff today that posted as "private" when... I have my account set to public... I wanna change this. I was pretty disappointed to find my bkite submissions today didn't sync with twitter correctly.
Privacy is not working the way I expect. I'm set to private and my notes are private, but my check-ins are public. The description of private says "Only your friends can see your checkins and posts at full accuracy." I can still see my check-ins when I visit my page, not logged in.
Hi, is there any way to make a post public if the lock happens to be closed on that post (next to the trash can)?
I probably uploaded & posted the photos while I was in private mode, but I really didn't mean to be in that mode so when I switched back to public, I expected the status for my posts to change, but they seem to be "locked" in that state.
The trash can/delete next to the lock is clickable, but the lock is not. Do I have to delete and upload the photos again in public mode for them to be public? That would suck...
It would be nice if we could toggle if a checkin is public or private, OR have the ability to mark a location as "Always Private".
My biggest gripe with brightkite is having to delete checkins because I forgot to toggle my private status before I checkin at my house, and/or, forgetting to toggle when I leave my house and marking places private that can be public.
Suggestion: A possibility in creating placemarks that we can keep private while still posting in public mode? Such as work or home that defualts a view for only our trusted network?
A common friend of me and one of my friends has checked in on his home address in private mode. I (as a trusted friend) see his home address and the correct distance to him from me, my friend though only sees his last checkin, but the distance between them corresponds to the address he is at now. I have also noticed that checkins in privat mode doesn't show up at all for non-friends, even though they should see the city according to my preferences.
This doesn't seem to work.. only seems to take one command at a time. It would be nice if you could send an SMS when your profile is set to private that looked like this:
"public @location !I'm at <location>, come meet me!"
Which would set your location, set it public, and send a message all at once.
Currently it appears as though you have to send three text messages to do this, like:
"public"
now set to public
"@location"
now set at location
"!message"
Message published.
Any chances of Brightkite being able to parse three commands from one SMS?</location>
