Twitter goes local

Author: Stuart R. Crawford

Are you attending an event?  Putting on a show?  Twitter now has a feature which enables your posts to be identified with your location.  Not your exact location unless the third-party application like Foursquare or Yelp.  Twitter’s location service will identify the community or public building you just tweeted from.

In order to use this feature when it comes to Canada, you must turn “Add a location to your tweets” on within your profile settings.

So far this feature is only available in the United States.

What do you think about all this location aware stuff happening with social media services?
