Twitter Adds Geotagging Support

Twitter has just enabled geotagging support for all accounts. This features, which is turned off by default and must be enabled, tags each of your tweets with your location. Once application updates are released that use this feature it will be much easier to view locations of people at an event, such as a concert or conference, who are twittering.  Because this option is turned OFF by default there should be little concern about privacy and you can always delete all  location data from within your Twitter account. I’d expect that within the next two weeks the major iPhone clients will update for this feature.
