Thank you Dyske. Can't tell how things look on PC, will use your hack until things are sorted out.

Kudos for a dead-simple install, hope to be able to remove JS-kit as others have mentioned, already in WP.

I'm going to try Daylight from Marketcircle, bought a license a while back, never used it, but the link between addressbook and ical is a dealbreaker. Specific circumstance not everyone will run into but adaptor/conduit for Mac would be a huge win for sugar.

Ok, see that now, thanks for the clarification.
Hopefully you can centralize places so that we all don't have say 5,482 different ways to say "Boston Common" when we all mean the same thing.

Another issue- I still only see 2 digits of the zip code I'm in on the iPhone

How about a simple text page explaining what the heck Find Me, Pick a Place and how to create new names for Place Snap on the iPhone?

It says I am at zip code "00" and at the intersection of two streets. I just want to check in that I'm home. Even if I try to name a placemark on the website, it doesn't show up as an option on the iPhone.

Great app, just needs more intuitive way to select your location.

Same thing happened to me, have "old" iphone, was on wifi, set to small video size, lost a tremendous video, understand it happens but let's sort out the issue. Lots of lag today but the live streaming is cool!

Thanks for the quick response Martin. I should have checked the "from" field more closely. I automatically thought it was Brightkite since that was the origin of the event.

Just goes to show, some sort of cross/multiple-posting stuff is starting to create harmonics between different apps. I'll post what I find with fb2twit when the problem is solved.

I checked in and you ended up tweeting 40+ times for me and a lot of people stopped following me. Plus, the tween was full of ampersands, bad news. I'm daveevans on brightkite and twitter.

You're the second person to use the floppy drive analogy on this--interesting. I think it is a flawed analogy and here is why: the floppy disk was an aging technology whose utility was in serious decline. As application and files sizes grew, floppy capacity was just too small to be useful to customers anymore. I agree that Apple took the lead in killing the technology and that it was a smart and bold move.

In the case of picture messaging (the feature that enables customers to send a phone-to-phone photo message), usage is increasing 40%/year, especially with young people (my teenage sons send almost as many picture messages as text messages). The technology is in place, and the issues are relatively well-understood. Almost every phone out there supports it, and there is a standard in place. This is a relatively new and maturing technology. It is not without bugs, but they could be fixed. Most of all, it is a fun and compelling feature, in my opinion.

I can completely understand that the iPhone is a 1.0 product, and that it can't do everything. I'm deeply familiar with product management trade-offs, so I hope to see this feature added later. I was just surprised to find something that every other phone does was not on the 1.0 list.

It's also a very interesting phenomenon that everywhere I have asked this question (including a couple of blogs and on Apple's own support forums), that I have yet to get a suggested workaround or an indication of how anyone else feels about the feature. I've also asked what will happen when an iPhone customer is sent a picture message--no one seems to know. All I have seen so far is an almost religious defense of a product that no one has used for more than a few days, and suggestions that I am somehow a bad person for even asking. That Steve Jobs reality-distortion field seems to have enveloped the whole internet!
