Twitter Google Maps Mashup
Akshay Java, 1:00pm 8 March 2007Lately, we have been bitten by twitter bug. Well, I just had an obvious thought and
somebody would have come up with it eventually. So incase no one has – here is my Twitter Google Maps mashup. It updates every minute and maps anybody in the public timeline who have set their location. It is interesting to see how Twitter has 
become a global phenomenon.
Njoy.

This is fantastic; are you considering showing off the backend of what you’ve done to let people customize it? I bet my organization would love to use it as part of Global Youth Service Day to get updates from around the globe on what’s going on related to GYSD!

Hi
Great idea!
I want to build a map that would allow one users’ twitter posts to be pinned on a map. Not multiple users.
The person would be travelling down one country and post a tweet in different locations. Possible you think?

Just created a twitter based app that adds a link to a map of your location… on to the end of your twitter status update. Pretty fun. Check it out at geotweeter.com. Uses Google Maps / Geocoder API as well as TinyURL.

How about entering a twitter username and seeing the locations of friends/tweets?

Hey Akshay,
Was just wondering how do you figure the location of a tweet message?
I dont use twitter – so it may be something obvious – like adding a location to a tweet msg?
Hope alls well in Seattle

How about a place to enter a hashtag so that I can see locations of everyone that is responding.

In addition to pin pointing location of the message (IP address) contents could be geopositioned based on wording within the message. Such as names or countries and cities. Then visually limit presented contents by area..

We would like to mash our air quality twitter feed with google maps to identify areas of poor air quality due to pollution and air quality events. So far we haven’t been able to figure out how to geolocate the tweets. any help would be great.thanks!
