-Why using a code and not simply a URL (ex.: http://nearfeed.com/667568)? It will be less manipulation then having to copy/paste the code in a textbox.

-Why using a code and not just giving coordinates?

-Not really accurate for me, 2 km away. I know that its not on your side it has to do with my IP. To obtain the coordinates have you tried another geoip service besides Google Maps? Like maxmind database (http://www.maxmind.com)?

I created a similar project to share/track real-time location as you move, its an iPhone app that shares location and generates a url that can be opened by friends on any browser. It not just static location, but will show your real-time location, if you move, then the marker on url moves.

Check out http://shaloc.com use invite code "hackernews" to get iPhone app promo code to download. Give feedback, thanks.
