Agreed. A lot of the places from which I want to check in aren't on a street, i.e. the lake, swimming spot, hiking areas, bike path, etc. – e_to_the_m, on June 28, 2008 14:34

+1 for Jon's idea. Having to delete a placemark, then re-create it just so I can edit, for example, the name, is kind of annoying.

sbergus is correct. You can do this on the main website and the mobile/iPhone versions. – Lesley, on June 09, 2008 02:06

I am sure it will eventually be added but yes it would be nice to have

You can give custom names to addresses. See this thread: http://getsatisfaction.com/brightkite... – Brady, on June 08, 2008 05:37

You can make placemarks with out checking in. Enter the address or buisiness and then click on the "Add to Placemarks" button instead of the "check in here" button – sbergus, on June 08, 2008 03:03

It would also be nice for new users if you could add placemarks from your browser without actually checking in.

A UK number would be sweet. Twitter use a UK number for most countries.
If BK are looking for a gateway, I'd recommend txtlocal. Incoming SMS is free on a shared number, or £35 a month on a dedicated number. Outgoing SMS is fairly cheap as well (depending on how many you purchase).

Dragging and dropping to the correct location not only would be boss, but highly necessarily in situations that do not have a physical address, like when you go camping or to the beach.

+1 for twitter bot! Or just SMS in Canada... – Stephen Paul Weber, on May 29, 2008 14:33

Guy, we understand that this is frustrating. We are working on getting things in place so that we can support SMS internationally, but unfortunately we cannot give you an ETA at this time. In the meantime, you can text commands to your @bkite.com email listed in your mobile settings page.

A rest-of-the-world SMS number is definitely needed. With you using a US shortcode there's no way anyone outside N America can update via text, which not only limits your userbase but just kinda looks like you're neglecting everyone else.

Lack of Jabber integration is the main thing still keeping me tied to Twitter instead of migrating here.

How about partnering with Firebot (http://twitter.com/firebot) or Fireball (http://fireballapp.com) ? You've already got Fire Eagle support, so the connection seems to make sense.

If you could adjust the location too that would be handy where BK gets the locations slightly wrong. It would be nice to set the place mark where I want rather than where BK thinks it should be (but isn't)

I know it's not quite the solution some people want, but I was hankering after a UK-SMS number since I joined BrightKite... but now the iPhone version of the site is pretty much ideal.

Not much use to those without an iPhone, granted, but if you DO own one, seriously, check out the new site.
