I sometimes come across business names that aren't entirely accurate. For instance, today, I went to The Home Depot in Lake Forest, CA. When doing a search on my iPhone, it came up with "The Home Depot Tool Rental of Lake Forest" at 20021 Lake Forest Dr, Lake Forest, CA.

Until Brightkite makes adding custom locations easier, you can do this:

1. Type the address followed by [Place Name]. For example:
20021 Lake Forest Dr, Lake Forest, CA [The Home Depot]

2. Brightkite will return the address with the location being named "The Home Depot." You can then check in to that location or save it as a Placemark. Your custom naming will remain.

What's nice is that Brightkite ties everything to the address, so it doesn't matter if you're checking in to the location by business, address, or custom Placemark, it'll all be considered to be at the same location.

Also, anyone following your locations can check in or save under their own Placemarks and retain whatever custom naming you've done.

I don't know if this is possible over SMS, but I do this through both my laptop and through my iPhone.

I just read on http://blog.brightkite.com that Tony aka "complex" whipped up a generic mobile version of Brightkite. I just tested my instruction above and it works as advertised. Great job Tony! Look for my friend request.

The mobile version is here: http://m.brightkite.com

Hope this helps.

@jon|k-Judging by a friend of mine's posts, i think he has hacked a way to do exactly what you are trying to do. I will find out and post what he is doing.

@alicia- I am seeing the dupe issue. Need to fix that asap before content gets out of control

I've always liked the way dodgeball let me add locations, and it seems like requiring a specific address would eliminate the problem with dupes. How about it?

alicia reported a problem in T-Mobile on March 21, 2008 20:13:

Global Outage

All 8 people in my office on T-Mobile are reporting the same problems off and on since Monday:

- Incoming calls that should ring are going straight to voicemail
- Text messages delayed for hours
- Outgoing calls start to dial and then drop

I just talked to T-Mobile support and they said they're having a "global outage" (no text, no voice, no data) for my area. They couldn't tell me how big "my area" was, or give me any way to find out when it's back up other than to keep trying to make calls. I asked them to send the information in an email and they said they couldn't, but they could put a note in my file.

I live in the Mission District in San Francisco, and I work in the Financial District. Any one else?

Apparently the codes are somehow keyed to the e-mail address because when I tried to use a code that someone gave me, I got the following error:

Invitation code must match email address

Yay, a conference worth getting excited over - and in SillyCon Valley, that's saying something. Thanks for setting up a CrowdVine site as well.
