Twitters Geotagging
So it would appear that Twitters API based geotagging has gone live. Though it appears that for the moment it is only applicable really by 3rd part applications built for Twitter. The geotagging will allow users to opt-in on their Twitter settings to allow the 3rd party twitter applications that support geotagging to add your location information to your tweets. This will allow your friends to have a rough idea of your location at the time of the message. I could foresee this being both good and bad. You know for those times when you say you’re helping someone out and a tweet comes in saying your actually at home catching the latest episode of a show.
