Dopplr needs a geography lesson!
I don't know about the rest of the world, but for Taiwan, where I live, Dopplr has a hard time recognizing any city outside of Taipei. I had an exchange with Dopplr developers about this during the beta phase, and I edited an online database as per Dopplr instructions, but numerous cities are still not listed. Considering that every other location-based service makes having a good database a priority, I'm surprised that this continues to be such a big problem with Dopplr.
I’m frustrated

You're quite right, and (after the distractions of getting to our public launch in December 2007) we're now actively working again on making this better.
As you say, we wrote a bit about this issue in a post on our blog last year -- http://blog.dopplr.com/index.php/2007... -- and there was good conversation in the comments too.
We're very grateful that you went and edited Geonames to make the dataset better. Your work will be incorporated into our database soon.

Inappropriate?Same problem for me with Austria. Most of the places I go to are small, but still there are friends living there.
Make me able to visit them, pretty please!
