San Francisco
– Twitter has added a new location-based feature called Twitter Places, which
lets users tag their tweets with specific geographic locations.
The company
said the service utilizes data from TomTom and Localeze.
The service integrates
check-ins from existing location services Foursquare and Gowalla, and lets
users create new locations within Twitter Places itself.
Developers will also
be able to use an API to integrate Twitter Places into their applications.
The
company said it is rolling out Twitter Places in 65 countries over the next
week
