Last Thursday on #GeoChat, Chris the CEO of what3words joined us to discuss the need for a better addressing system.
What is #GeoChat again?
Lets get it started!
Why does the world need a 3 word address?
And that twitter poll comes in handy
Postal addresses don’t work as well as we might think they do!
agricultural applications are a good example of the limitations in our current postal system.

@geoawesomeness The world needs a way of simply communicating locations, a version of lat/long that everyday people can use #GeoChat

@ChrisSheldrick2 Well isn’t that why we (still) have those long postal addresses? At least some think so – https://t.co/PH7lBX5v8E #GeoChat

@chrissheldrick2 @geoawesomeness #geochat I think also non-urban applications seem likely – agriculture or recreation for instance?

@geo_will @geoawesomeness Absolutely, rural areas are almost always badly addressed. Large farms often only have one address #geochat
