As we first reported last night , Twitter appeared to have turned on at least part of its new Geolocation API . Today, the company has confirmed the roll out on its API Announcement Google Group page. As Twitter API team member Raffi Krikorian writes today, " as some of you may have already noticed, we've started going through the first steps to get the geolocation API out our door. " Last night, a portion of the Geoloction API got turned on and it slightly borked the new, still unreleased version of Tweetie . Basically, it looks like it turned on geolocation coordinates for all tweets, even if they weren't meant to be enabled. This gave every tweet a coordinate of 0,0, which put them in middle of the ocean off the coast of Africa.
