I have an idea for an app or a web site or something. In theory it seems easy and I’m hoping a celever friend or two will help me figure out the detail.
Essentially, it’s going to make use of this:
curl http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=from%3Ausername | grep georss
where you replace ‘username’ with a Twitter ID. The account has to have geotagging enabled.
You can also see geotagged Tweets using this command:
curl http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?geocode=54.66%2C-5.65%2C5km
This does much the same thing but shows you tweets specified by a particular geotag.
I’m not a programmer, not yet. But I’m going to pursue this as a demo app. The visuals I have ….uh…visualised… are kinda cool.
