Peder, we're thinking about this and we may implement it in the future. – Lesley, on July 02, 2008 20:39

I would still like BK to not send spesific location when I am in private mote to FE. Would be nice if BK only sent the location as specified in the privacy setting for 'Everyone else'

Lesley, thanks. That solved it! I found the setting in fire eagle.

BijanK, there should be some settings in FireEagle that determine what accuracy level gets shared to your blog. This can also depend on what kind of widget you are using.

Privacy settings to apply to fire eagle?

Currently, fire eagle gets my exact location from brightkite. Consequently, my blog that is pulling my location from fire eagle displays my exact location.

Is it possible to define a less accurate position that gets sent from bk to fe? For instance, I would like fe only to receive the city from bk, not the exact position so that my blog will only get the city, too.

So does that mean that you'll consider reading iPhone Open Application Development and writing one for jailbroken phones in your free time? – Thomas, on June 09, 2008 23:37

I have to agree with you there. We don't like that sort of control either. BTW did I mention we are working on an Android version ;)

Sorry, Brady, but I (and hopefully many others) will not be upgrading to 2.0 until it's jailbroken. I disagree with a centralized and controlled repository. – Thomas, on June 09, 2008 23:00

Hi Thomas. Similar to Loopt, we have leveraged the iPhone's location ability in our native iPhone application. The native Brightkite application will be available for free at the launch of the app store :) – Brady, on June 09, 2008 22:43

Just because everyone's going to mention it, Loopt announced an iPhone app at the stevenote.

10:36 am User profiles show a log of where the person has been and the photos they've sent in. It's easy to call or text them as well. Works with Loopt users on other platforms and will be available for free at the launch of the App Store.
10:34 am Next -- Loopt, a location-aware social network. The app displays a map with pins representing where your friends currently are.

We are working on ways to deal with the accuracy issues of the current iPhone. A GPS enabled iPhone, when/if released, will be a better user experience. – Brady, on June 09, 2008 17:24

That's silly, what about people who are traveling? It could definitely tell if you're at an airport, and such. Turn on your phone when you land, and auto check in. As well, if it knows your last location, it would definitely help with the future "check-out" feature, so people would know that while you're not where you last checked in, you're traveling to your next check-in point. – Thomas, on June 09, 2008 08:09

But "you are here" is not that accurate. I mean it knows the general area and the city but definitely not the street or the building. This would be a lot more useful on the GPS-enabled iPhones since the location feature would be a lot more accurate.

I hear: "We would love to release a Tiger version but sending text to a website is hard! You can buy Leopard, right? Hope you don't mind losing access to Classic!" – Thomas, on May 22, 2008 23:12

We would love to release a jailbroken version but right now it's a matter of time. We are only a few weeks away from the real deal ;) – Brady, on May 22, 2008 22:45

That's disappointing to all the users who think a free application, like the numerous ones for twitter (including MobileTwitter and Twinkle), as well as one for Pownce (named Pwnce), using the open application toolkit already available for jailbroken phones, would be just fine. At least, you should release one for each. – Thomas, on May 22, 2008 22:31

Thanks Tom, you guessed right. That indeed solved the problem. Actually, I didn't realize that it works this way.

Tom Insam replied on May 20, 2008 15:24 to the question "Apparent bug when connecting to ICS-files" in Dopplr:

Hmmm. What it looks like you've done is use iCal or something similar to publish your calendar directly from your computer to Dopplr. This has resulted in the 'uploaded calendar' entry.

Somehow, Dopplr has _also_ become subscribed to this uploaded calendar as an external calendar. This is the other calendar, the one with the refresh button.

The reason the uploaded calendar has no refresh button is that it's not needed - we automatically read it when you upload a new version. The other calendar has a refresh button because it's a subscription.

The fix here is to remove the subscription to the 'remote' calendar, and just use the uploaded calendar. Assuming that I've guessed right and you really are pushing the calendar from iCal.

Apparent bug when connecting to ICS-files

I seem to have a problem when integrating ics files. When I upload a file to a server location and set to connect Dopplr with the file, Dopplr creates to entries: one dynamic entry to the uploaded file that is automatically update when something changes, and one called "uploaded calender" that cannot be refreshed.

However, I haven't uploaded anything - I just have one ics-file sitting there and I would expect Dopplr to dynamically refresh its contents.

By also connecting to the second file, I am having the further problem of duplicate and conflicting entries.
