Axthelm, If geo_enabled is set to false at the time you post geo data it will be dropped when it arrives and won't be saved for later tagging.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Geo stuff
Excellent, thank you both for your responses. A second question on all of this, if the user has their flag off and we submit the location with their tweet will that location information be saved with the tweet for future use or disgarded due to the setting being off?

Hello Ryan, Is it possible to have test account that could help us to verify that what we are building (tools, libraries,...) are bug free ?

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Geo stuff
There is going to be a read-only flag on the object that denotes whether or not the user has enabled geolocation. For security reasons, the user will need to come to twitter.com to change the setting.

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Geo stuff
it will not (at least, that's what I've seen on the list thus far.)

Serious business.
[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Geo stuff
On that note, is it known if the setting to opt in will be exposed in the account/update_profile API?

[twitter-dev] Re: Twitter Geo stuff
The Geo tag is only populated firstly if the user posting the tweet has opted in via Twitter's website (which hasn't been enabled yet) and secondly Geo data was submitted with that tweet On Oct 4, 4:41 am, Patrick wrote: > I have been reading about the Twitter Geo stuff - it all sounds > exciting - and I'd like to start playing with it even it's not fully > prime time.
