I was reading this thread and I was wondering if anyone knew how to
search within a specific geolocation and then have the coordinates
(when applicable) to show up in the results. I got my program to
search within a certain area, and I was able to get the coordinates
when not looking in a specific area, but I cannot get it to do both.
Is it possible

Hi,
Is there an easy way to convert these geo-codes into actual locations.
I'm using a lookup table which has been created by matching (geo-code)
- (location specified by the user). But i was wondering if there is a
Yahoo Placemaker kind of service that developers are already using for
twitter.
Regards,
Devjyoti

nah - no worries. data is coming in and the rate at which geotags come in
increases every day.

Raffi -- you are absolutely correct. It turns out it's a frequency
thing. I've done a whole bunch of random looks at result data in the
last couple of months and I've never seen one. Now that I know what
to look for, I just grabbed a batch of 50,000 search results and found
several.
Many apologies for any work you had to do to drop some knowledge on
me :)

hi eric.
just to make sure i understand what you're saying - you're saying that
the
geo tag (from the geotagging API) is not showing up from search? i beg

I apologize if this has been previously covered, but it appears that
explicit geotag info is not shown for any tweet returned via the
search API, regardless of whether a user has authorized public geo
reporting.
As a result, it is possible to determine what is being said in a
specific location, but it is not possible to determine where people
are talking about a specific subject.
I understand you not wanting to show all the signals that lead to a
geo search match, but I can't grok why you're witholding specific
metadata from the search results.
Any light you can shed would be valuable to my customers. Any plans to
change this policy would be rad.
Thanks!

each user has a location field associated with it - but that is self

Thanks for the reply. Thats what I was thinking.
Would there be any way to return the location data of user with
the
search results for a word?
So that I didn't need to make seperate calls for each user?
thanks so much for your help.

twitter only returns data back in its geo field if the tweet
has
been
explicitly geotagged.
search, however, attempts to use other signals to determine
where the
tweet
is, and will attempt to return more tweets when you use its
search
parameter. it does not, however, expose those signals in the
search
results.

Hi All,

I know you can do a search specifying the location you want to
