OT - Three Little Words .... *LINK*

Dave Paine

I used to associate Three Little Words with an old song.

Listening to Weekend Edition Sunday on my local NPR station today I heard another potential association for three little words, namely where you live.

I did not know that the country of Mongolia has very limited street names therefore few addresses. A big challenge for that countries Post Office.

The country worked with a UK startup which developed a way to map a 9 sq meter area on the globe with 3 random english words.

The app/site is What3Words.com. This is a link in the NPR article below.

I thought this was interesting. Perhaps some unusual bar conversations. :)
