we've traced that tweet. it's coming from INSIDE the house.



Twitter has announced that they plan on launching a new feature that allows you to broadcast exactly where your tweet was coming from. That's probably the most significant feature release for the tool since...ever.

Soon you'll be able to see who's tweeting in your hood, where your friends are, and where to get the best bbq.

Third party applications have made this generally available for those tweeting from their phones, but this will apparently be incorporated into the actual Twitter API.

This opens a world of promotional and development opportunities. Treasure hunts, location based promotions, and whatever you might be able to dream up that includes GPS and Twitter.

Some will likely be creeped out by this, some will love it, and the world will tweet on.
