imagine every facebook user would put their home address, or every business 
owner their business address. To make this happen, the procedure must be dead 
simple, and not require you understand an editor, or use a complex website with 
bells and whistles, but so overwhelming to my grand aunt that she will close 
the page as soon as she finds the button to do so.

We could announce a campaign, “citizen mapping project collects all the 
addresses in the world and provides them freely to everybody” or similar.
