#Microblog Monday 405: Addresses
Not sure what #MicroblogMondays is? Read the inaugural post which explains the idea and how you can participate too.

I didn’t expect to get this enthralled by an article about addresses. I thought the solution for no address would be to assign everyone a post office box in a centralized location, wondering how it would work because people may need to travel long distances to get mail.
But this system of using Google Plus Codes is brilliant.
Most articles about technology are about how much it sucks, but it’s important to remember how much we gain from tech.

Are you also doing #MicroblogMondays? Add your link below. The list will be open until Tuesday morning. Link to the post itself, not your blog URL. (Don’t know what that means? Please read the three rules on this post to understand the difference between a permalink to a post and a blog’s main URL.) Only personal blogs can be added to the list. I will remove any posts that are connected to businesses or are sponsored post.

That’s great. Yes, we take so much for granted – even something so simple as an address.
That’s fascinating (and cool). My British cousins are tremendous fans of what3words, which is a somewhat similar concept but not (IMO) nearly as good, as it seems to assign random 3-word listing to — everywhere on earth (square meter by square meter, or similar?). But the words are all random, so sure, you can look them (or a location) up, but e.g. begging.pickled.dignity and begging.pickle.dignity are in TOTALLY different locations.
What a great story!
That really is amazing! 🙂
