A geohash is a random coordinate generated across the world1 every day by an algorithm as described on XKCD comic #426.

These coordinates can be used as destinations for adventures, à la Geocaching. They can also be used for local meetups.

For a little more interactive discussion consider joining the #geohashing IRC channel on Foonetic.
