Besides a tab or something on the site, where you can pinpoint your
location, it would be great, if i could use the location-syntax that
twittermap uses:
see http://twittervision.com/maps/faq.html and
http://twittervision.com/maps/location_examples.html

This way i could just post my location through a simple dent like "i'm
at L:home=Würzburg, Germany: and struggling with ms word again" and
later use the saved "home" value, like: "at l:home:, back to using
ubuntu" :-)

It also would be great to differentiate between a "permanent location"
like it's used in the profile now, and a dynamic one.
