The number of users of Twitter only increases and as much them as the programmers that do applications based in the site begin to ask for innovations. They beg and Twitter brought: the new version now brings the possibility to locate users and tweets geographically.

A preview of that new API will be distributed initially to the developers, allowing those to include geographical metadata in their applications. Many of them can already be found in http://www.twitter.com /download.

In the case of new API, besides the services already offered, the developer will be able to, also, include the geographical location in their programs. According to Rafe Needleman of the site CNET will be possible to the Twitter users seek for tweets and close profiles to their location.

With that new capacity, the possibilities for the external applications of Twitter increase a lot. As example can mention the storage pictures site Flickr, that when opening its API with geographical location allowed that countless services and sites could explore that function in the internet.

The geographical location can also address better the companies that already use Twitter looking for to publish their products and services. With that implementation, maybe it is possible even finding a form of doing money with the site.
