A comment on the problem "Sandy doesn't make me twitter yet...I'm waiting." in I want Sandy:

I'm trying to do as you said with the dropdown menu, and it's not working. And she hasn't sent me a confirmation yet, which I'm assuming is because I couldn't click the radio button. – Tracey R., on September 09, 2008 20:11

Thanks for asking about this, Bob. I've added my reply above to Sandy's FAQ page (an updated version will appear shortly at http://iwantsandy.com/help/faq). – Rael Dornfest, on September 03, 2008 23:24

Howdy!

If Sandy won't seem to follow you back on Twitter, most often the issue is that for some reason Twitter's auto-follow didn't fire when you followed Sandy.

The fix is simply to un-follow Sandy and then re-follow her; to do so...

1. Visit http://twitter.com/s
2. Click the word "Following" under Sandy's picture at the top-left of the page
3. Click the "Remove" button to stop following Sandy

Twitter will update the page to show that you're no longer following Sandy. When you see the "Follow" button appear under Sandy's picture (in place of the "Following" link mentioned in step 2 above)...

4. Click the "Follow" button to re-follow Sandy

Then visit your Twitter home page at http://twitter.com/home and you should see Sandy's picture under your list of followers in the right-hand sidebar (you may need to click the "View all" link and page through until you find her if you're popular).

When you see her there, you know she's following you back — at which point you can head over to http://iwantsandy.com/settings/twitter and get things set up on the Sandy side of things.

Best,

Rael

A comment on the question "plurk not plurking" in Ping.fm:

first check your sent messages and make sure ping is attempting to send to plurk, it should have the orange plurk icon in the services list.

If it is, and you still have the problem, let me know your plurk username and i can check into it more. – Adam, on July 09, 2008 00:20

Perfect, thanks Lesley!

Travis, we're not sure how long it takes for updates to make it to Google Maps and their public geocoder (which is what we use). I will have to look into that one. In the meantime, you can add a custom label to an address, so that it shows up properly in Brightkite. You can do this on the website by entering the address as follows:

123 1st Avenue, Denver, CO [Insert Name Here]

It will then show on Brightkite as Insert Name Here (123 1st Avenue, Denver, CO, etc.).

You can placemark any locations you add labels to, so you don't have to enter that every time. I hope that helps.

How long does it take for a new (named) location to be available for check in?

We recently added my company to Google local in the hopes that it would then be available to check in with the "Name (Address)" format in Brightkite.

Am I wrong in assuming this is where that data comes from? How can I make this happen? I'd like to have the place name in there, rather than just the address.

A comment on the idea "BrightPlurk?" in Brightkite:

We are supported on Ping.fm, and yes double posting is an issue. – Lesley, on June 23, 2008 03:44

I agree, this would be great. Perhaps some Ping.fm integration. However, care would need to be taken to ensure there wouldn't be double-posting (or worse, an infinite loop) if BK is selected on Ping.fm.
