My question is if there will be any plans for a whitelist of apps to allow for persistent geo information? I post travel tweets and would love to post them with the geo info of the location, not necessarily where I'm at. In this case persistence would be beneficial for people who search and find

ah, yes - most certainly. @rsarver will be putting together a list of "best practices" around geo, but, most certainly, you could just store this locally. Right, and I see where Twitter's coming from. I'm speaking more to API consumers that wish to persist the API/Geocode data on their own
