I've noticed many members don't include their home locale in their profiles. It should be required, or at least recommemded. I don't know how many times I'm in a TMobile conversation and turns out its about TMoUK and not TMoUSA. Also, local customs and practices can help give perspective and stop people from assuming all of the time.
So please, unless you must be secretive, list your home location in your profile. I'd like to know who's from the Telecom Corridor in the North Central Texas/DFW, Texas area, or who's near Silicon Valley or Dubai. Without it, it seems that everyone is American, and that can't be possible. I'm sure there are Brits, Canadians, Mexicans, Spainiards, etc. Let's make it known, please.

We thought about that on Symbian Freak, but not everyone was for it. But a home listing could be a city or geographic region, even. Just not only a country. What is USA? Alaska or Florida? It would only draw users together. I know there are lots of Silicon Valley and Telecom Corridor/DFWites here, but most of us hide our location.

...one's Maemo (N810 or N900 at the moment) device could give the live location, fed right from the device's GPS...

tmo Location awareness has been under discussion... may even be in Brainstorm (can't recall offhand).
I don't put my location in my profile but make a real effort to add qualifiers to international issues and companies, eg, T-Mobile US vs UK, et al. Does that work?
