Yeah - what Chris said.. I'm trying to geo-plot location.. but because twitter lets users enter anything for location - people enter a lot of rubbish sometimes... Makes it a bit interesting when you are trying to geo-plot!
Does anyone know if there is a twitter feature request raised to force the user to enter a proper location? or one that give me a users location based on an IP-range.. ? Maybe we should raise one?...
