It's true that for some (perhaps even many) spots the geo positions of the check ins won't be evenly distributed around the center of the spot - so all such automated suggestion would need heavy moderation/validation to ensure that they're improving the position and/or size of the spot.

It would probably be able to automate some of this nudging as well - by logging the position of each one checking in to a location both the size and center of it should be guessable by Gowalla itself.

What the simplest kind of "position-moderatosr" would need to then is just to approve or disapprove of the Gowalla site's own suggested nudge.

This is certainly needed. I had a hard time loading the nearest spots on my iPhone yesterday when I wanted to check in on a location. I was also unsure whether the spot already existed. Since I needed a spot to be able to check in I created a new one and now when I'm home I see that there are two...

A comment on the problem "Tweetie should use OAuth instead of passwords" in atebits:

If so - couldn't it be an option to use OAuth? Not implementing it won't make it evolve into something that you think is ready to implement? Can't you make it an experimental feature for us "crazy" persons who want it? – Pelle Wessman, on September 17, 2009 19:09

Mozilla owns all of the trademarks etc for Firefox and the rest of their products. They earn income from partners like Google for eg. adding them as the default search engine.

Songbird is owned by Pioneers of the Inevitable and financed by at least some venture capital.

I can't see how Songbird can become a Mozilla product without Mozilla buying Songbird from it's current owners (the code is free - the trademark most probably isn't).
