Can't make an event at the park

Google Maps is smart and can find Sandy Cove Park in West Vancouver for me, but Rilli can't! Rilli only likes street addresses. I think Rilli should love parks as much as Google Maps does.

Send to Rilli

I'm on a page like Upcoming or some random newspaper or really anywhere that there is an event described. Right now I have to copy-paste the URL, wander over to Rilli, possibly create a bunch of venues etc. etc. -- I would love to have a "Send to Rilli" javascript bookmarklet.

On login, reset my timeframe to today if my timeframe is old

When I've been away from Rilli for a while and come back, then the date range is set to whatever I had it when I last looked at it. If this date is in the past, you should reset it to "today", probably +/- 3 or 4 days.

(this is sort of a second feature in here)

Even if I do go browsing around different times, I'd like a "now" button that resets me to this same time window of now +/- whatever.

Enable embedding of workouts

Currently, I can only share links to a workout, or download the KML version. It would be great to easily embed my workout in my blog or other HTML pages. Please offer an embed code.

It needs to be clearer, since the screen looks identical. I would rather just go on to the next screen, have a message / green checkbox that says "Placename created! Now tell us when"

"This Saturday" doesn't work

Your example in picking a time says "This Sunday at 9pm". But entering in "this" doesn't work -- I have to just say "Sunday at 9pm" without the this. I would just fix the example to drop the this

Creating a place sends you back to picking a place

When you are creating an event, and have to first create the new place, once you are done creating the place, you are back at the pick a place screen, rather than the next step in adding a new event.

Creating a new place keeps info from old place

When I create two places in a row, the pop up has all the information for the last place I already created already filled out.

Link usernames to an action other than a link to twitter.

I don't want to have to go to twitter to see people links. A jquery / lightbox or some other pop up of info of the user would be more useful than just dumping me over to Twitter.

Aside from the hover pop up info, maybe you can click through to a view that shows all user interaction between you and that user?

Use current view port as city / state

When prompted to create a place, I have to put in a full address. In Google Maps, I generally only have to put the street address, and it assumes currently viewed city / state

Create place mislabeled

Under location, where it says "Give us an address", the eg text says "Long Weekend Camping". Instead, it should say 123 Main Street, Vancouver, BC

Allow me to exclude name from reports

I make a lot of lists. A lot of my lists are actually about companies rather than individuals. I specifically *don't* want name in there ... since it will always be blank for companies. So, let me uncheck name for reports. That is all.

A comment on the idea "Allow attachments to be "moved" from communication / email to an individual or company" in BatchBlue:

Yes, exactly. The central idea is nice, but I have other ways of sharing files. Files that I *do* have in BB, I'd like to be right next to contacts, often multiple, so the "Attached To" would be great. – Boris Mann, on February 19, 2009 08:24

Allow attachments to be "moved" from communication / email to an individual or company

Currently, I get a lot of documents from individuals or companies. They are attached to emails, which I then forward into BatchBook, where contacts then get created.

I would much rather have the attachments attached directly to the individual or company rather than the email communication (or both).

Please add a feature that lets me move or attach attachments to individual or company contacts.

I know that Feedburner is going through a bunch of changes right now. They are getting absorbed into Google in different ways. I've had trouble with a couple of feeds, and actually had to delete them and then re-add them to get them working.

Make shared notes in Google Reader per permalink available via API

As I just posted in the Intense Debate feedback, it would be great to be able to access all the shared notes for a particular permalink, which would allow the site owner to see all of the feedback in one place.

As far as I can tell from the API, this is not currently possible.

Desired API behaviour would be to pass in the permalink as an argument, and get back all the shared notes.

Boris Mann replied on January 06, 2009 05:32 to the idea "Aggregate comments from everywhere" in IntenseDebate:

My mistake. Then I should amend it to just ask for GReader shared comments...may not be possible with their API yet...but it should be. Off to make a request there...
