Twitter Launches Twitter Places and API
- chris24 16y agoThere's also some more information about this on Twitter's developer mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/59a5ca0f00f19067 http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/brow...
- jolie 16y agoimho, the API info should have been released to developers before Twitter launched the feature. Isn't that kinda what the company promised to do at Chirp?
- bruceboughton 16y agoTweetDeck has been showing geolocation information for a while so perhaps it was already released? Not sure...
- chris24 16y agoThe general geolocation feature has been out for a while, but it's been limited to neighbourhoods like "SoMA, San Francisco", rather than a specific place, like "Twitter HQ, San Francisco."

- ABrandt 16y agoSeems like this could be a huge leap towards the unified locations database many have called for. Sure it'd be nice if it was an open sourced database, but just like with Facebook and identity, corporate control is currently far more practical.
- JacobAldridge 16y agoNo mention of the ad platform they're rolling out, a key component of which will be more detailed geo-locating ability to target users, but I would imagine the two are related.
