What about a simple "reply" command via sms to reply to your last message received. I find it VERY annoying to have to type out MSG username (some people have some long usernames). It also saves a few bytes that could be used in your message.

Looks nice. I've been leaving comments for people, but they seemed to just sit there.

Hooray for making them more prominent- and I'd love to see that trend continue, e.g. by making them drop down from the original post without loading a new page.

Keep up the good work, guys. It's fun to see the progress.

There is now a comment tab where you can see all the comments people have left for your posts/checkins. :)

Single sign-on using GS's API and OAuth is on our to do list.

We agree that this is annoying. We have added it to our to-do list of fixes.

Replying to messages totally sux.

replying to messages is hard!

When i click to reply, it opens a box over the old message. I always refer to someones message when drafting a reply. I like not having a page refresh... but i hate that i can't see the old message. i also don't like the fact that "replies" aren't grouped with the original message. Being able to see just my outgoing messages is good, but I'd like to see messages "in context", so i can read a whole "conversation" in one go. (this could also serve as a reminder that i've replied to a message).

Thanks Brady, that's a great addition. I do have a couple questions about the future plans for this feature.

The iPhone/Touch client will get this feature added in the future, correct? Right now I can't make or see replies with it.

Are there plans to be able to designate a reply specifically for only the original poster's eyes as well as the public reply feature?

Will replies show up in the location feeds and friend feeds? Right now I can only see a reply I've made to someone by going to their original post.

Thanks again for the hard work guys!
Joe

You can now comment on posts. There is more to come in the the way of commenting but the basics are now available :)

Dave Hansen marked one of johnp's replies in Brightkite as useful. johnp replied to the idea "Can I comment on peoples pictures and posts?". Dave Hansen and 3 other people think it's one of the best replies.

johnp's reply to "Can I comment on peoples pictures and posts?" was just promoted to the most useful! dhinchcliffe and 3 other people think it's one of the best replies.

I think the whole brightkite idea revolves around creating virtual communities around physical spaces...

i think it's hard to have a community without being able to ask "was that restaurant good? i've really wanted to check it out!", or being able to say "I used to work here! Have you noticed that you can see times square if you stand at the end of the west balcony??"

This would also allow for users to add a tag such as "tovisit" allow them to create a list of places they'd like to visit around town or while traveling.

Hi All. So we (Get Satisfaction) have recently released our API and OAuth suport so single sign-on is now possible. Here are some related topics. We also have something new coming VERY soon so stay tuned!

FYI, here's the blog post about our API release.
