Oh, awesome. I didn't know you could do "about" posting when not checked in (actually, just hadn't bothered to look), but that makes sense, and the sharing works as I would expect it to. Thanks for the response and explanation :)

A comment on the problem "Not cross posting to Twitter?" in Brightkite:

Chris, "about" posts are notes and photos that you can post to a location without actually being checked in there. To do that, you would just visit that location's place page and click the "Post a note" or "Post a photo" button. For instance, I could go to the Paris, France place page and post photos of a past trip I took, etc. Since these updates aren't about what you are *currently* doing, they will not send out notifications or share to Twitter, but they will show in your user stream. Now non-about posts are just normal notes and photos that you submit while you are currently at a location and they post to where you are currently checked in. Since these are real-time updates, they will share to Twitter and notify your friends when they are posted. I hope that helps some. :) – Lesley, on October 06, 2008 15:54

I'm confused - I thought once you checked in to a place, any notes you posted from there on in (pictures included) were automatically "about" that last check in place. Am I wrong??? What's the difference between an "about" post and a non-about post???

A comment on the problem "Not cross posting to Twitter?" in Brightkite:

Martin - Posting from a location without checking in there need not necessarily be a post "about" that place. I might want to post updates while I am traveling from A to B, without really checking into the locations on the way. That would definitely qualify as "What are you doing?" posts! ;) – Sameer, on August 12, 2008 12:15

A comment on the question "How about sending brightkite updates etc, from JOTT?" in Brightkite:

Yeah, I would love this feature as well. I tried testing sending to my personal brightkite e-mail, but I think Jott adds stuff to the e-mail that confuses the parsing engine at BK. – Chris Pohlad-Thomas, on July 08, 2008 17:25

jesmc shared an idea in Tumblr on July 05, 2008 09:44:

Permalinks via dashboard.

I think it'd be great to be able to access the permalink for a post from the dashboard. There are times when I want the url for the post I'm looking at and it's a real drag when I'm already there in the dashboard to have to re-navigate to it via archive, etc

Both on the website and the iPhone/mobile versions, you are able to search for locations and add them to your placemarks without checking in to them. Currently there is no way to do this over SMS, but we will look into it.

jesmc,

Can you try posting a note right now and see if it posts to Twitter?

Problems cross-posting to Twitter

I've been in private mode w/Everyone set to City for Check-ins and Exact for Posts. Yet I only get cross-posts to Twitter for one location. (I hope the fact I've check-in at this place and not at the others doesn't make a difference.) I just tried again this time switching myself to public, then posted a note about a location but it did not come through to Twitter. Please help! I'm really getting attached to Brightkite
