hi abir. It's not yet live on Twitter - when it does become live, there will be a setting available under each user's settings page to turn on the ability for his or her API clients to annotate tweets. On Sep 17, 2009, at 6:38 PM, Abir wrote: Guys: I am confused. Is the Geolocation

For those using the iphone and tweetdeck, you can click the locate icon and your iPhone: Long:Lat is updated on your profilie.location. I am interested in GEO locate, so products can find you. Example, You are on interstate driving or passenger, and it is after 3am, and you tweet... Holiday Inn

hi jim. that's definitely interesting - i don't think this will make it into the first release, but i like the per-app permissions notion based on oauth. it fits well on the "grant permission read" or "grant permission write" options in oauth in general. Raffi, I fully understand the

Raffi, I fully understand the concern about privacy. To that end, here's something you may want to consider: Have application / web-site "over-rides" of the geo-code enable be another option on OAuth. This way a user can control the creation of geo-coding in their tweets on a finer grain basis.

hey jim. 1. "the user.location is a completely separate entity (for now)" implies that maybe sometime in the future it may be used, e.g., to provide a default geo-coded location for a tweet. I would suggest that if the user's profile location if ever geo-coded, that geo-code should be added

hi nicole. Also I am surprised that the geolocation of the person can be attached to the tweets but still not to the profile - something which would make location based services so much easier, even without having each tweet tell the world where you are? part of our hopes when we designed
