[twitter-dev] Latitudes and Longitudes in the Location Field

2010-09-09 Thread brentos
Hi Folks,

Does anyone know from where these come?  I'm speaking of the lat/lons
in the actual Location field of the user, not the new per-tweet
location stuff.  It appears to be fixed for the vast majority of users
to a single latitude and longitude.  Do certain clients insert this
once and then leave it?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

- Brent

Hi Taylor,

Thanks for the quick answer!  Do you happen to know any further
detail?  In particular, we're curious which clients do this and what
their exact process is.  Do they ask the user to use their location?
Why don't they continually update it?

Thanks very much!

 These are generally saved once by mobile-based Twitter clients, as you've
