What about a WAP site that is platform independent? That would kill many birds with one stone.

Revisiting:

It would also be great to include 'in transit' to a location, although I am not quite sure how this would be implemented. so I'm leaving @home to go to @work, and expect a 15 minute travel time.

This would give people at my @work node notification that I'm on my way and give them a chance to respond accordingly.

absolutely second. This would be huge, and allow brightkite to swing into the mainstream of event-planning and people-discovering.

Also, I like the idea of last.fm integration, but am not sure how open their API is on the events side of things, perhaps yacobucci should suggest this to the last.fm devs as the brightkite API goes public.

A comment on the idea "Future check-in" in Brightkite:

What else would be cool is some kind of integration with last.fm. In last.fm I select that I'm going to see Tapes 'n Tapes at the Bluebird on May 17th. That show comes rolling around and I could get checked in via Brightkite so people interested can see I'm rocking to some tunes. – yacobucci, 10 days ago

Chris,

Thanks for the suggestion, that would definitely be an improvement. We think that a sticky toggle on places that you always want to be private, combined with a button like the one you're suggesting, would make sense.

One consideration we always have to take into account is how this works via SMS...we could introduce a private "@", that would accomplish the same thing, but that might get confusing.

We really value your feedback on this and appreciate you taking the time to put this together (looking for a job? :)

I agree, this is a very good idea.

Beyond integrating with the web interface, there has to be an analog in SMS, as using SMS with Placemarks is definitely the most expeditious way to check in.

It could be something as simple as:
@home -private
vs:
@Peets -public

A comment on the idea "Future check-in" in Brightkite:

It'd be nice if you subscribed to an event stream of mine and allowed me to check in to those events at certain times... so not check me in automatically, but provide the list of events that I said I *might* be at, and then let me click ONE link -- just like in the Placemarks UI. – Chris Messina, 17 days ago
