We've identified this as an issue with fb2twit, not Brightkite. See here for more info: http://getsatisfaction.com/brightkite/topics/twitter415 – Martin May, on August 18, 2008 04:44

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.

Sorry for the confusion. Twitter gets treated like "Everyone else", so if you are in Private mode and have posts set to City, then your posts will show up on Twitter, but it will only show your city for the location. If you don't want anything going to Twitter when you are in private mode, you will have to set both checkins and posts to Hidden. We do this because some people want to share to Twitter, but they don't want their location to be fully Public.

This weekend we released global customization options for Twitter (Account Settings -> Sharing), so you can set what information gets passed to Twitter, regardless of your privacy settings.

My username is wpalmeri, same on twitter. My last two posts, one with a pic, made it to twitter when I was in private mode. My "Everyone else" settings are Hidden for Check-ins, and City for Posts. However, I was under the impression you had to be in public mode for posts to make it to Twitter:

Its not likely that we will support different types of posts as core functionality but this idea is perfect for an offshoot api application. Our API is going into beta testing this week and should be available for public use very soon.

I like the concept but I could see how it could get out of hand very quickly due to many people wanting a lot of different post "types". I think having the ability to assign tags would be more logical and would allow for greater flexibility overall.

Will, what is your Brightkite username? What are your "Everyone else" settings under Privacy? Thanks.

I second the idea. I'm even fine with the 140 character limit, but being able to categorize and filter by 'reviews' would be a great way to keep track of all the different restaurants around my area. A thumbs up/down or star rating supplement to 'review' posts would also be cool.

Twitter updates not respecting privacy

My posts started getting cross-posted to Twitter this weekend even though they are marked as private. I don't know if this is a bug or changed behavior, but I much prefer being able to control which posts go to twitter. Thanks! -Will
