Thanks for your replies. @Ed I think you're right with the location-based search being the better option at the moment (just realized you don't need a query for that), but I still have to analyze the tweets and see if they're useful for what I want to do with them after.
@Elroy thanks for referring me to the other group discussion, it helps. I was considering going for the Streaming API, but stumbled upon the same problem with location based feeds. I will be following that page closely to see what the developments are on that one. @Raffi thanks in general :-) On Dec 12, 9:38 am, enygmatic <[email protected]> wrote: > @Ed > I think that ought to work as well.
