Hi Ikai, yeah I'm that Thomas :D Thanks for your suggestion.
I can't use lat/lang since postings from one apartment will result in unnecessary false positives. They are indeed located in the same place, just different house number. I will probably normalize the address and hash on that. It doesn't need to be sophisticated since my intention is to handle scenario where 2 or more people who happen to stay at the same house decide to find a housemate (can't blame them, I use Gtalk to chat with my housemate who is just next door). OOT: Why is web safe cursor string very long? Can I make it shorter?
