really - i think that's just too formal. just mail the list, or hit me/marcel up over email. > Part of this stems from my concern over something I thought I heard yesterday about Twitter building its own "place" database. There are > dozens of place databases - why does Twitter need another one? honestly, of all the place databases out there, none of them fit our needs. none of them have the combination of unrestrictive licensing + data and IDs for countries going down to neighborhoods (arbitrarily sized things) + have the ability for creation, updating, etc. we are building something that will be available through the API that the entire ecosystem can use (and, not just for tweeting), so its a fairly unique set of constraints. -- Raffi Krikorian Twitter Platform Team http://twitter.com/raffi
