I mean, what the chance of someone recognising me amongst the hundreds or so city dwellers. I do like the ability to mark a place and able to post pictures related of that location, it's like seeing the place in a perspective of a human (as opposed to something like streetview). But also, since I'm only living temporarily (here in Melbourne), I guess I'm rather lenient about it. I suppose it'll also come handy for travel.

You bring up some valid points, and I wanted you to know that we are not ignoring them. We tried to build the right privacy controls into Brightkite from the start. However, throughout the beta, it's become clear that some people will still shoot themselves in the proverbial foot by posting sensitive locations. We have some ideas on how to prevent that, which we will introduce in the coming weeks. If you have suggestions on how we could address your concerns, we'd love to hear them. Best, Martin Founder, brightkite.com John,

I don't care if you want to suss out the places where I do jobs (businesses) anyway. To be honest, I'm probably the only person in Mildura on the thing. I think Brightkite is a cool idea, but I can tell there's going to be a big shitfight on this thing eventually.
