Its the little things that count - while signing up to Dopplr (care of fellow CSC'er Mark) I was asked to enter my Home City - all I typed in was the word "Wollongong". Dopplr replied:
"We know about just one place in the world that matches what you've typed: Wollongong, Australia."
Nice, very nice.
Every Web 2.0 service out there please take note, I might not live in North America, but I am still part of the known universe rather than the mystical realm of otherland or the kingdom of noneoftheabove :-)
haha that made me laugh :)
ReplyDeleteBut you are right: is it really that hard for a decent database to be used for locations online?
Hmmm what Dopplr should've said was:
"We know about just one place in the world that matches what you've typed: Wollongong, Australia. And your broadband sucks."
LOL Re: broadband sucks. Very true.
