Location Aware Twitter

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Twitter have just announced they are planning to implement a feature which allows for location awareness. This will be part of their new API, which will allow developers to add latitude and longitude to a tweet.

I have always been a little annoyed with twitter for its simplistic nature. I definitely realise the benefits it has, I have just always wanted it to add more features , and it now looks they are finally beginning to do this. They have also recently announced they will be adding functionality to the retweet feature.

Anyway I thought I might let everyone know this as it could play a role in local / location marketing in the future.
