Excellent idea Dave! I currently go through a series of 3 clicks to get back to the "What's Happening?" page in order to check in using a placemark. Would be great to have a sub category in the left nav under Placemarks that would list user's top 3 or 5 most frequent placemarks. Clicking one of these would automatically check you in at that location and keep you on the "What's Happening?" page.

Hello again sallymander, we agree that photo comments would be a really cool addition to the commenting feature. It would be fairly complicated to implement something like that, so we will keep it on our radar as possibility a little further on down the road.

Post photos as comments...cool!

It would be cool to be able to post a photo in the comments of a post. A picture is worth 1,000 words!

A comment on the problem "Search not finding businesses Google Maps knows are there" in Brightkite:

Will this update your database in a way that will allow others to search for "Cloud 9 Frozen Custard" and have bkite recognize it? Also, please add the bracket tip to your SMS related documents. This will be valuable when out and about. – sallymander1979, on June 30, 2008 04:54

Sallymander, we use Google's public geocoder which unfortunately does not match everything that is in Google Maps. We are working on a way to easily update this sort of thing. In the meantime, you can add a custom label to a location. You would just enter your search on the web like this:

4300 E 8th Ave, Denver, CO 80220 [Cloud 9 Frozen Custard]

Then your location will show as:

Hope that helps some.

Checked in "Denver, CO" searched for "Cloud 9 Frozen Custard" no dice. Searched for "Cloud 9", still no love. Checked in at the address of the shop and still couldn't find it. Why won't brightkite allow it's users to add businesses that it doesn't recognize? And more importantly, why isn't brightkite using Google's local search?
