Reveal the Location of a Fellow Twitter

Twitter goes one step further with the location-aware feature. With this new geo-location feature, you will know the location of your fellow twitters.

Twitter’s new API will make it possible for the developers to add latitude and longitude to any tweet.

Anymore you can not only read the tweets of account you follow but, it is also possible to read the tweets of anyone in your neighborhood, even if you do not follow them.

This geo-location feature will be off by default and users can opt to share location on tweet by tweet basis.

What makes this new feature within Twitter special, when there are similar geo-tagging services available that reveal the location of users?

Not to forget Twitter has got a huge number of users and is very popular. When there are any natural calamities, this new feature will be useful to share information on the current events.

And talking about privacy, Twitter has published that the information on the exact location of users won’t be stored for a long period of time.
