A comment on the idea "Can we twitter placemark names instead of addresses?" in Brightkite:

The issue with the $place variable still displaying the full address in Twitter is a known problem and we are working to fix it. Thank you for your patience. :) – Lesley, on August 15, 2008 23:31

What is frustrating is being able to "customize" how Bkite sends updates to twitter, but not being able to override the automatic insertion of the (address/location) of your check-in place. Bkite gives us the option to customize "$place" yet still automatically inserts the address, city and state information, even though you can add "$city" and "$state". I wouldn't consider this buggy, it's more of a specifics and organizational issue.

This should be an optional feature because many times I use shorthand to make checking in faster.

For Example: The southern most Walmart on Bardstown road I may call WMbardS

Of course I know what that is, but my friends may not.

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. :)

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 :)

Though this would be a wonderful and highly beneficial use of Brightkite, I don't think this was the whole premise behind it.

I know I'm talking semantics here, but Brightkite seems to revolve more around the PEOPLE and the places they visit rather than the places themselves. It's the reason why you have a direct FRIENDSTREAM that gets updated with where your friends check-in and what they do at those locations.

At this time you don't have a direct Placestream. You have to go to each location and see what's happening there. I think your idea is great and as Brady said, should be implemented soon.

At this time, you can still post a note at locations without actually checking in to the them. It's not exactly the functionality that everyone's looking for, but it satisfies the ability to comment on a location.

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??"

Yes we are working on implementing this. Expect this soon.
