  Twitter: “Foursquare and Gowalla integration: Many Foursquare and Gowalla users publish check-ins to Twitter. Location is a key component of these Tweets, so we worked closely with both companies to associate a Twitter Place with Tweets generated by these services. This means that if you click on a Twitter Place, such as ‘Ritual Roasters,’ you will see standard Tweets and check-ins from Foursquare and Gowalla.”

  VB: “Twitter just launched Places, the location-sharing feature that the company announced at its Chirp conference in April. – Users could already share their location on Twitter – either their latitude and longitude coordinates or their neighborhoods. But with Places, you can share a specific location, like a coffee shop, a restaurant, or a bar. Then users can search to see all the tweets from that location. They can create new Places, too.”

  NYT: “Twitter users who want to share their location click on a link that says ‘add your location’ when they write their post. They can choose from a database of places nearby or add their own.”

  RWW: “Twitter has ‘data partnerships’ with TomTom and Localeze in order to make Twitter Locations work. Over the coming week, it is rolling Locations out to 65 countries. It is also working to add Twitter Places to Twitter for iPhone, Android, and Blackberry.”

  TC: “All of this means huge things for location on Twitter. And the fact that this place data ties in with both Foursquare and Gowalla is excellent. But there still eventually needs to be some sort of unified place database. Maybe Twitter Places will help produce that. At least until Facebook’s location solution comes out and is inevitably incompatible – I kid, I kid. Or do I?“
