Re: [twitter-dev] Re: Find Location where tweet came from
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
