Hi Yoni.

The whole geo-location thing has always bothered me - for security reasons so obvious only someone with their head buried in the "cloud" doesn't understand.

i.e. Yes, Mr. Crook, I'm eating donuts at Dinky's -please steal me blind while I'm out!

Update courtesy of urbandictionary.com:

This phrase stems from the film "Anchorman". During the seen where Ron is giving his new co-worker a tour of San Diego, he tells her that the city's name means "A Whale's Vagina" in German. This was such an obsurd suggestion that things to this level of proposterousness are therefore refered to as "Whale's Vagina."

Seems the name has stuck, at least in the TwitterVerse.

Please don't ask me why San Diego is geo-tagged as "Whale's Vagina." I only posted this ;)
