That's a great quote from Jyri. I must have read that at some point -- but I certainly hadn't remembered it when I wrote my post!

I'm thinking about location now as a layer in DiSo, or as just another profile field that you do joins on... just like your favorite movies or books in your Flickr account... or any number of profile items in your Facebook account.

And, what can we do with virtual location? Or fake places? I remember that someone, upon signing up for Brightkite, checked into cities across the world, just to prove that, actually, Brightkite has NO IDEA where he really was...! Nonetheless, there are benefits to be gained from applying location to social applications... like you, I'm just as excited! ;)
