A new feature that Twitter says might be available in the next few weeks called “geolocation” should help reporters. The feature uses a mobile phone’s global positioning system (GPS) to allow Twitter users to include a precise location with each tweet. Sounds ideal if you are looking for tweets from a specific place. Ryan Sarver, director of the Twitter platform, leads a “fairly small team” of programmers. They are close to completing the geolocation project, he told The New York Times. “We are about delivering the right information to the right people.”
