Find Twits Locally with TwitterMap
With the Twitter explosion over at SXSW this week, and the general increase in popularity for the mini-blogging app, here’s TwitterMap!
This is a handy little mash of Google Maps and Twitter so you can check what people are saying around the world and, specifically, in your part of the world.
The handy part is you can Twitter your location and show up at different spots on the map, so you can twitter what you’re doing as well as where you’re doing it.
All you do is send a Twitter update that includes ‘L:‘ followed by your location. Like ‘Drinking coffee at joe’s L:55 Elizabeth St Melbourne‘.

I’ve tried this. It doesn’t seem to be working at the moment. Nevermind. I’ve found myself, even if it isn’t where I said I’m at. I’m telling it Orange Park, and if puts me in Jacksonville. Close, but it just appears to be throwing people at random in Jacksonville. I’ll try updating again with more detail than just Orange Park.
I’m finding Jason Calacanis in rural Florida, when it appears that he actually is in LA. Florida? Louisiana I could see, but rural Florida?

the more vague the address you add, the more general your location will be. if you add a street, suburb and the actual country then it becomes quite accurate.
