Cyberfunks AMA - what3words - November 7th, 2016 at 11AM CST

Cyberfunks Alliance is proud to present its second AMA with what3words on November 7th, 2016 at 11 AM CST, in the Cyberfunks Slack

what3words is a global grid of 57 trillion 3mx3m squares. Each square has a 3 word address that can be communicated quickly, easily and with no ambiguity. Its geocoder turns geographic coordinates into these 3 word addresses and vice-versa.

Using words means non-technical people can accurately find any location and communicate it more quickly, more easily and with less ambiguity than any other system like street addresses, postcodes, latitude & longitude or mobile short-links.

Used in over 170 countries by individuals, business and NGOs, what3words addressed every 3m x 3m square of the planet with a unique, fixed address made of just 3 words.

Poor addressing costs businesses billions of dollars and hampers the growth and development of entire nations. Around 75% of the world (135+ countries) suffers from inadequate addressing. 4 billion people are invisible, unable to get deliveries or receive aid, and unable to exercise their rights as citizens.

what3words Use Case

findcatchshare - Thanks to what3words, Pokémon locations can now be pinned down to a 3x3m square on the map. Players no longer need to wander the streets in search of an elusive Lapras or Pikachu. Instead, they simply follow the simple 3-word address, catch their quarry and add it to their growing Pokédex.

Getting women home safely with what3words and Bikxie - Bikxie Pink, a bike taxi service for female customers in Delhi, is using what3words to help pinpoint the correct pick-up and drop-off points for the journey.

3 word Uber journeys in Australia - Simply enter the 3 word address of where you want to be picked up and exactly where you want to go. It’s more accurate than a street address, so no need to direct the driver to where you’re waiting for them. Instead, just hop in and drive off, safe in the knowledge you will reach your precise destination with ease.
