Well, if the voting system only went positive (no way for me to "bury" a post) this becomes less of an issue, but overall I'd start with it anonymous, leaving behind the scenes functionality recording who voted what in case you ever want to expose it (and you'd aso need it to make sure people only vote once/post),

If coathangr goes big, is it better to have a "props" button or have hundreds of people replying with "nice post!" My vote would be props.

This also gives you the option of doing a scoreboard or featured posts. What's hot today? This week? Of all time?

Auto-tagging is buggy

The auto-tagging seems buggy, but I'm sure you guys have already noticed. Wanted to throw it out, just in case. Also, how do I send tags in an emailed post?

Multiple pics in a single post

I want to send multiple pics for a single post - makes self-shots of an outfit a little more comprehensive

i want to vote for cool posts

I want to be able to give props to a cool post. Just a simple digg-like vote system.

Have the spammers arrived?

User Radhey using Brightkite messages to spam link to some calendar site. Looks like you guys already deleted the user, but obviously it's time to think about how to stop spammers.

Really wish I could edit existing placemarks to put that info in rather than having to create new ones – Eric, on November 26, 2008 16:15

The "Check In" button on the Placemarks screen of iPhone app is (mostly) broken?

On the Placemarks screen I have a hard time "clicking" the Check In button. It just doesn't seem to click easily, and sometimes a Delete button slides in from the right over the Check In button. Am I doing it wrong?

Call to Twitter API to get Favorites broken?

Our app makes a call to get a user's Favorites from the Twitter API. Up until a few days ago it was working perfectly. Now when we call, we get this result:

<statusesresult>
<result>false</result>
<error>TwitterUnavailable</error>
<errormessage>
</errormessage></statusesresult>

Is this call temporarily down? Did something change?

Eric replied on March 06, 2008 16:34 to the problem "Twitter Rate Limit" in Socialthing:

Keep in mind that Twitter hasn't been very stable in recent weeks. I've seen this detrimentally affect applications using the API...so if Ben's very well written explanation of the rate limiting still doesn't seem to explain your problem it may have nothing to do with Socialthing and more to do with Twitter.

It's still doing the same thing...wish there was a way for me to attach a screenshot into Satisfaction

I log in, the bar at bottom browser comes and tells me my lifestream is loading (along with the spinner thing and the icons of the services I've added) and then nothing happens. My lifestream stays blank now matter how long I let is sit and spin.

I had another beta tester try it out with his account and he saw same thing

Definitely having same issue with other Twitter clients...I'm blaming Twitter API fallout from yesterday
