If you are following @fireball on twitter and register it with fire eagle, it'll update fire eagle when you use l: syntax. And the fire eagle version will pull in lat long. I'm not sure about bounding boxes.
I believe l: syntax is not actually supported by twitter, but something twittervision adds. http://fireballapp.com is how to sign up for fireball... (twitter + fire eagle + upcoming). Right now it only knows place names fro san francisco. So you can say l: south partk or l: zeitgeist and it'll know what you mean. But if you say l: central park, it'll get confused. -rabble On Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 8:42 PM, Brandon Martin-Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In the case of coordinates you're going to want to specify the projection so > > l:epsg,minx,miny,maxx,maxy oh crap we've done it again and crufted up a > minimalist protocol > > --==-- > > Seriously though I propose ">location" where "location" is a name in your > personal namespace or an absolute coordinate.
