No, they didn't. They "killed" parts of addresses.

Also, these are still hard to remember. Personally, I'm a fan of http://what3words.com/

I'm currently here: http://w3w.co/lives.fend.spent



I like what3words also.

What I'd really like is a hierarchy so that given

>lives.fend.spent

when you saw the words

>lives.fend.rabbi

you knew it was nearby, within the "fend" place or that

>lives.gopher.spoon

was within the "lives" places


Sounds like usa.newyork.brooklyn would be a smart extension. Quick, let me patent it and trademark the term "3 or more words that describe a location in hierarchical order". Or maybe I will just call it "backwaddress". :P


Hey, that is a cool idea. It's basically a less verbose address system isn't it?
