@sarahdalgulls idea: word based location system along the same lines, but instead of an algorithm there's just a database with a unique phrase for each location, and you can sell people the ability to change the words for their own (or any other) address like a domain name which is how you make money, and the whole point of it is that the one location that isn't up for sale is What Three Words head office, which is hard coded to #what #awful #wankers
