San Francisco - Twitter on Friday announced the launch of a new geo-tagging feature for its API, which will allow users of third-party applications like Seesmic, Birdfeed and Twindroid to opt-in to include their location information when they tweet. "The added information provides valuable context when reading your friends tweets and allows you to better focus in on local conversations," the company wrote on its blog.
