Two pieces of unrelated geolocation news

  • Twitter now supports geocoded tweets. Disabled by default, API-only for now. Considering that people already built interesting mash-ups with the older and much more limited geolocation facilities, this should be interesting. It’s also kinda scary though. Thankfully you need to opt-in (and i personally wouldn’t recommend doing so).
  • Foursquare has rolled out their service in 50 more cities, and Vienna is among them. Unfortunately i’m out of town until tomorrow and won’t get a chance to try it.
