Twitter is letting you tag where you are in taking over the world! You can now tag your location, for others to find you. Unless you’re not sure you want everyone to know where you’re hanging out.
The location tag has been part of Twitter’s API since last year, but it has limited to cities and areas. Now you can add actual venues. In an announcement yesterday (tied to users watching the World Cup) Twitter reveals:
Twitter Places ties in with both Foursquare and Gowalla for even more data – so, if you click on a location you will see standard Tweets and check-ins from those sites.
I’m curious to know … do you tweet your location and check in? I’m still a little creeped out by the idea myself, but see many of my Friends using it.
