Alias for Plazes
Maybe it's a crazy idea, but when you try to update by sms it's hard to tell the exact plaze because it has a long name, and it can end creating a new one.
Maybe each plaze should have an alias, so the name could be long and descriptive for a web/plazer use but easy to call from mobile platforms.

Inappropriate?Thanks Yon for bringing up this problem.
However we should look at the solution a bit more in detail, because we should not improve one user experience (less characters for SMS) by worsening another one (users have to define Name and Alias for their Plazes)...
What do you think?
I’m not convinced

Inappropriate?I know is a crazy idea. Let's talk more about it.
Creation:
Users shouldn't have to define the Plaze Alias by default. When you create a Plaze, if you don't give an Alias, an automatic Alias should be created (maybe based on the Plaze Name). The Plaze Alias (as the Plaze Name) can be changed at any time, but never have the same Plaze Alias as another Plaze.
The BIG problem is: Wich plaze has priority for an alias? Should be used a "First In, Firrt Gets" Policy?
Using by SMS:
Now, when Plazes receives an SMS has your crazy search algorithm to get the best Plaze for the name given. In this idea, this is step 2.
In this idea, when Plazes receives an SMS has to look for the name given, first on the "Plaze Alias" DB, and then on the "Plaze Names" DB.
The motivation of this idea, is because I think the main origin of duplicated Plazes is SMS. If you know the Alias of your Plaze, you get more acurate localization and better use of Plazes, and by the way you get shorter (and faster) SMS and more accurate .

Inappropriate?I see your point Yon.
Although I guess this is not one of our priorities at the moment, I am going to internally present this idea anyway.
I’m confident
