Overview

WOEID: “Where on Earth” ID (by Yahoo!) eg. 2459115, 615702 or w90210

NOTE: zipcodes and WoeIDs can look exactly the same when the WoeID

is 5 digits long.  For now, a 5 digit number will be detected as
zipcode.  The way to override this is to prepend a number with the
letter 'w'.  Therefore 90210 will be a zipcode and w90210 will be
a WoeID.
