Therefore I would like to represent a solution for this: The service <a href="http://www.twittori.com" rel="nofollow">Twittori</a> uses a modified Geohash algorithm (see Wikipedia for details) to create very short URL which just consume 6 characters to represent a geo location. Here is an example: <a href="http://GE0.at/0GGmJW" rel="nofollow">http://GE0.at/0GGmJW</a>. This could be an alternative for other services too, to not need to use the TinyURL services for geo location purposes in Twitter.
