Currently  platform developers have been making some progress  in this regard, with the assistance  of the very basic APIs available to them. At present ,geolocation based projects are made with the use of the location details filled in by members  on their profiles. However, this is not a very dependable and effective method  to judge immediate location as users often tweet from multiple locations without changing  their location each time.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter will permit their members  to include  their latitude and longitude if they wish to do so with each tweet. The service will be firmly opt-in, with the default  being set to &#8216;off&#8217;. Tweet-level geo tagging will be treated another way than the location data entered manually by the user in their profile. Location data in the profile will persist to be utilised to give a general idea to visitors about where a member  is normally based.<\/p>\n<p>One major advantage of this feature is that ,you could toggle from reading the tweets of accounts you follow to reading tweets from any person either  in your neighborhood or city-irrespective of whether you follow them or not.<\/p>\n<p>Twitter,is thus getting better with the introduction of  this fresh opt-in geolocation feature.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The micro blogging site Twitter plans to launch a new feature to provide information about the geographic location from where a Tweet actually originates.
