		rkudeshi on March 27, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Show HN: LocalGo - bit.ly for addresses This is actually pretty cool. However, I would suggest an option to use a more descriptive, non-shortened URL (something like localgo.com/1600-pennsylvania-ave/). I don't see myself using this on Twitter much, but definitely in emails.

That makes a lot of sense. We have complete-address URLs on our first site, LA Life:

http://lalife.com/address/5314_Blackwelder_St_Los_Angeles_CA...

But the whole address can get unwieldy. Thanks for using LocalGo!
