Twitter Onboard with Geolocation
written: October 26, 2009Reading an interview with Ev Williams and Biz Stone (creators of the website Twitter) on TechCrunch, I found a particilarly interesting question and answer.
Q: Geolocation.
Ev: We are building geolocation into Twitter. We’ve had fledgling support on profile. And you can search by location we determine in fuzzy way. Location is huge. Reason we’re excited about geolocation, we don’t know how it will change our business. We’re releasing location in the API, eventually in our interface.
I knew Twitter was making some strides in the geolocation field, but I didn’t know it was so much on their radar. I am excited with Twitter will do for the geolocation field. Let’s hope great things!
