Twitter to become Location aware
Twitter in their blog has announced that they will soon be launching an API which will make Twitter, Location Awared.
The blog Post Reads,
We’re gearing up to launch a new feature which makes Twitter truly location-aware. A new API will allow developers to add latitude and longitude to any tweet. Folks will need to activate this new feature by choice because it will be off by default and the exact location data won’t be stored for an extended period of time. However, if people do opt-in to sharing location on a tweet-by-tweet basis, compelling context will be added to each burst of information.
They are going to release geolocation to platform developers before they add the feature to Twitter.com. They promises to add this to mobile website as well.
