   appears that if you feed #statusnet a specific lat/long, it looks that up somewhere, and it's returning the wrong place name

     @n8 upshot is I provide (-37.28333,-12.7500) and get pinned by #statusnet #geolocation at (-37.06757,-12.31155). a diff place, diff #geoname

     @n8 which is about 30 miles off, in addition to having the wrong name #disappointing

     @n8 specifically, I gave #statusnet the precise coords for #geoname ID 3370905, and it put me down as at 3370726 ; no idea why

     @n8 http://ur1.ca/0vbrh -- does #StatusNet just pick a random "nearby" city, even if the supplied lat/long has a valid #geoname? #surelyNot
