3 Reasons Why Twitter’s Geolocation Feature is Cool
Twitter gets even better with the introduction of a new opt-in geolocation feature that will allow you to identify where you are tweeting from. Attaching your location to a tweet is nothing new to smartphone owners, but having the location-aware feature baked into Twitter opens the floodgates to hosts of cool new Twitter tricks.
Twitters geolocation feature works by embedding geographic metadata to tweets. Developers get to play around with this feature first, and presumably geolaction will follow for average Twitter users.
I have some reservations to the service I’ve outlined here. But I like to keep an open mind and in doing so offer some potential cool uses of Twitter’s geolocation feature.
