Thanks for the update Lesley. Looking forward to the announcement! – Balaji Dutt M V, on August 22, 2008 11:23

Balaji, we are definitely considering users like yourself in regards to this feature. We will make sure that you are able to pull this data across all of the interfaces and not just using SMS or mobile email. :) – Lesley, on August 21, 2008 22:05

Request for Brightkite developers - please consider other options for your international users as well. For example, sending @FE via text or mobile email might seem like a good answer for your US users. But living in Asia, neither of those really works on a long term basis. I understand that it's difficult for you to poll FE and am willing to put up with the hassle of having to update BK separately to pick up FE data. But please give us an option via the mobile site as well! – Balaji Dutt M V, on August 21, 2008 02:53

I like the @FE idea. Until Fire eagle supports pushing. – jiltedcitizen, on August 18, 2008 14:18
A comment on the idea "Can we twitter placemark names instead of addresses?" in Brightkite:
The issue with the $place variable still displaying the full address in Twitter is a known problem and we are working to fix it. Thank you for your patience. :) – Lesley, on August 15, 2008 23:31

What is frustrating is being able to "customize" how Bkite sends updates to twitter, but not being able to override the automatic insertion of the (address/location) of your check-in place. Bkite gives us the option to customize "$place" yet still automatically inserts the address, city and state information, even though you can add "$city" and "$state". I wouldn't consider this buggy, it's more of a specifics and organizational issue.

Jeevs, you totally nailed it...that is the challenge. – Martin May, on August 15, 2008 03:24
A comment on the idea "fireeagle integration" in Brightkite:
As I understand it, the reason Pownce has no difficulty integrating with FireEagle despite their size is because it only ever needs to know where you are when you post something. So a user action prompts the pull from FE; this is more scalable because it does not have to be happening all the time, only once in a while when you post something. This is equivalent, in terms of practicality, to the suggestion that BrightKite should prompt the you, when checking in, to just pull from FE (also like @FE mentioned earlier). I think this is very sensible and, from the sounds of it, feasible. Some people might want BK to check you in automatically whenever your FE is updated (from Plazes or any other service that pushes your location to FE). This is nice because it means you will only need to check in with one service and all your FE-capable services (e.g BK, Plazes or Pownce) will be updated instantly and automatically. This is very difficult; because it demands that BK constantly lookup the location of all of its users through FE to make sure they haven't gone from their last check in point. I think, until FE itself supports pushing relevant data to BK (i.e when a BK user's FE location is updated, FE should let BK know to pull the new geodata), the @FE user-prompted pull is a clever and effective compromise. – jeevs sinclair, on August 14, 2008 09:35

Hi Andy, we are working on 2-way FireEagle integration. With Pownce it is slightly less complicated than what we have to deal with. – Lesley, on August 12, 2008 22:21

How is Pownce doing it then? – Andy Mesa, on August 12, 2008 21:25

That's really good news. As soon as it's out, I'll add a location update option to my Twitter client (https://twitter.com/peSHIrTweets), which already updates both Twitter profile location (as you can do as well) and TwitterVision location. Would be great to add BrightKite updates to that.

I need an option build-in that can automatically check in every 5-10 min (in the background), for the iPhone that would be great! – Evert, on June 30, 2008 15:06
