[twitter-dev] Re: API call to turn on location-based tweets?
I take back what I said about the availability of device-based tweeting. I was thinking about plain old dumb-phone SMS tweeting. And of course browsers can now do geolocation. So, yes, bring on the translations, but for those doing manual entry of arbitrary coordinates let it be clear that they are not being spied on! Also, wasn't there a way to enable geo on a tweet-by-tweet basis? On May 18, 10:07 pm, "M.

I'm still testing some of this on my Android, but I've discovered that the available clients differ widely in how they tag tweets when location is fully enabled. I've had to delete tweets that I made from the Android because they had my street address embedded in them. Watch this space, as they say ... ;-) -- M.

I have an issue with the text itself. "You can give applications permission to tell Twitter where you are when you send a Tweet" implies that the geodata refers to the user's actual location. People are - rightly or wrongly - worried about this, and many do not activate geolocation. Our simple app allows users to locate coordinates on a map and tweet "from" there, associating geo- metadata with the subject of their tweet. I wish Twitter would reconsider the uses of geo and adapt the settings, workflow and text accordingly, especially since the takeup for "current location" tweeting does not seem to be all that great. And Stephen - device-based "current location" geotweeting mainly works in a few English-speaking countries... On May 7, 11:50 am, Stephen Rife wrote: > This is great.

This is great.
