SMS Reference Guide, update language

I got a little confused in your SMS documentation and had to spend some time really thinking it through.
http://brightkite.com/help/sms_reference

Your refer to location, place, and placemark independently but I think they mean the same thing.

in "Checking In", you refer to Location
in "Posting", you refer to Place
in "Places", you refer to Place

Please can you update these topics to use the same vernacular or at least define them? I recommend calling them all Location and Locations, leaving Placemarking as the specific task of adding a mark to a Location.

there seems to be consistent vernacular/diction problems throughout sms the documentation as well as settings dialogs.

PROBLEM: hash tags are getting stripped from Brightkite posts via email group posting to a micro-blog, direct m.ping.fm posting to @bk, and I am sure others. BrightKite updates Twitter for me for micro-blog updates that I cannot send to Twitter directly.

from documentation: "Sites that don't support hashtagging or generic tags will receive the message as-is."

I was testing this out from my BlackBerry as a new user and found that the subject needed to be blank. Give that a try.

Pearl 8130: application never loads after install and verify of mobile key

1.
After entering the ping.fm mobile key successfully, the key was verified but the application failed to load.

2.
Upon re-trying with a new application key, I received the following error:
"You User Application Key could not be validated (APP_KEY: Mobile key not found.)"

BlackPing Preferences options

I highly recommend that there is a "save" option in the BlackPing Preferences section for setting the application key. I could not figure out how to authenticate/save my key for validation.

I finally figured out that the back key did it. Not enter or 'right-click'+Save.

Thanks for listening.
