Geotagging/Lists are really important (to my usability of twitter)
Putting geotagging in tweetdeck was a very interesting experience because in between lines of code and testing really got to experience the obvious value of this new feature (especially combined with lists). I tweet occasionally (to my three followers) but i find twitter to have a so much noise that is only when i have some real down-time that i go back to look through the people that interest me to see whats going on.
So last weekend when i was headed down to the boat cc told me to keep a look out for the red ballons – and by a very odd chance i got off a strange exit so i could go park under an underpass to check the accuracy settings of sending geotags on TD tweets. Driving a bit down the road what do i see.
Yes. A Red Balloon. I stopped. Talked geek with the darpa folks and tweeted about it (of course forgetting that geotagging was not enabled on tadwook) and then watching my iPhone die before i could enable a proper geotagged tweet. In the end i was a bit supprised how long it took teams to find all balloons. I am hoping a brand does a follow-up contest (clients are you listening?).
