Twitter Places: Memos with Location

1 Jul. 2010 | Author: Ben Broshi | german

Twitter posted recently about the new feature in their blog “Twitter Places”: with the new feature, users can post their mini-messages with their current location. So users no longer have to post their coordinates, as previously required, but can now pick out places such as cafés, or even directly from World Cup stadiums.

New locations ca be added as addition to the provided or recommended locations. The advantage of the new feature is that the user’s current location can also be made known while posting. The Microblogging service alludes as an example someone watching a World Cup game – is this user sitting in front of the TV or is he really in the stadium?

With just another click, more Tweets from the same location will be brought up. Twitter is cooperating with Foursquare and Gowalla for this feature, which also allows the user to receive standard messages and check-ins from other users from the two sites.

The feature, however, is currently reserved for US users. In the next few weeks, the location service will be ready for release in 65 countries. This whole thing is possible due to data exchanges between the partnership with the maps and navigation specialists TomTom and the experts for local search machine marketing Localeze.

At first, the additional feature will be available on the website on the mobile Twitter site. But it should soon also be available for Smartphones: Twitter will be releasing the APIs for developers, which will allow them to integrate Twitter Places in their programming.
