I see Google Maps now has a "Report a Problem" feature. I reported the issue with Yerba Buena Ln., so perhaps they'll get that fixed.

Problems w/ Tropisueño

Problems w/ Tropisueño at 75 Yerba Buena Lane. It appears Google maps doesn't understand this address. It looks like Yelp must have added a manual entry for this location, as it locates fine on their Google maps.

I tried adding a nearby address on Mission, but now the map doesn't work at all.

Consequently, there were a bunch of dupes for this location, so I pointed all the dupes to this venue ID.

Also just noticed I had the editing pencil for this venue, so I tried removing the suite number (#8) from the address line, and that fixed the geolocation.

So I guess this more of a bug in the way the geolocation is pulled from the address. Maybe a separate suite field would be an easy fix?

Also some funkiness w/ the phone number I see now.

Bad geolocation for Michael's Sourdough in Novato.

Michael's Sourdough Sandwiches in Novato shows up as being off the coast of Nigeria for some reason on your inset Google Maps. This is probably why it never shows up as nearby when trying to check in. http://foursquare.com/venue/61431

Agree. Would like to make/suggest/vote corrections. For instance, Suppenküche. It looks like the umlaut isn't being handled properly. Alternatively, umlauts can also be rendered as the vowel +e, so Suppenkueche for instance.

RSS feed for friend check-ins.

Would love to have an RSS feed for my friends' activities too.

Tweetdeck now supports syncing of groups, which makes dealing with this much easier, though dedicated group support in Twitter would definitely be ideal.

Just installed the latest Mac version, so thought I'd chime in and say I'm still hoping for Flickr auth capability. I'm guessing folks on the ATV version really want this too, as Boxee's access is a bit of a step backwards.

I agree. This is a major problem with Facebook. Additionally, even if you don't respond to an event, the event organizers can still spam your Facebook Inbox. Sure you can go through and remove events, or answer "not attending", but I often have 20 invites that need responses.

Facebook should give us some privacy control over the event invite process, like "Only allow messages from events I'm attending." Please give us the tools. Otherwise, Facebook is going to slide further towards being a chore.

A comment on the question "Can I sort people into groups?" in Twitter:

That's a different idea, but thanks for calling ours silly. In fact, search or hashtags would almost get you to where you want to be, if I'm catching your drift. – chrisr, on March 31, 2009 23:40

chrisr replied on March 31, 2009 23:23 to the question "Can I sort people into groups?" in Twitter:

This, in my mind, is Twitter's biggest problem currently. We definitely need to be able to sort people into different groups for mgmt. purposes. Personally I'd have a friends group, a celebrities group and a techie group. With tweets grouped together this way, it'll make prioritizing much easier.

Additionally, groups need to be available via the API. I'm already using TweetDeck to create groups, but having to do this for the 5 different installs of TweetDeck that I have is a pain. If it's in the API, all 3rd party apps could take advantage of this feature.

Twitter, please add this feature!

Twitter users, please pass this on!
