Date posted: 21/08/2009 Twitter is adding location to its globally popular microblogging service in a move that will let people see where "tweets" are coming from. "We're gearing up to launch a new feature which makes Twitter truly location-aware," Twitter co-founder Biz Stone said in a message posted Thursday at the San Francisco-based Internet firm's website. "A new API (application programming interface) will allow developers to add latitude and longitude to any tweet." Accurate "tweet-level" location data would let people switch from tracking messages based on individuals or topics to following microblogging by neighborhood or city, according to Stone. "It's easy to imagine how this might be interesting in an event like a concert or something more dramatic like an earthquake," Stone wrote. "There will likely be many use cases we haven't even thought of yet which is part of what makes this so exciting."
