"At the 140 Twitter Conference yesterday, Alex Payne, Twitter's API lead told Robert Scoble that Twitter might soon add location-based information to every tweet. Currently, users can set a location on their profile, but individual tweets are not geo-coded in any way. If Twitter did indeed add a geo-references to every tweet, then that would open up the door to a wealth of new possibilities for developers. Suddenly, for example, it would be possible to develop an application that could pull in every tweet ever made from a certain restaurant or bar."

@Johan thanks for the link, but "Reveal your location" ← not a lot of people will do this I'm afraid. Twitter is about to make it mandatory.

"Astronaut Mike Massimino, who is aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis, became the first person to Twitter from space when he sent the message, "Launch was awesome!" So in 40 years we went from …"one giant leap for mankind," to "Launch was awesome!" I assume if we ever encounter intelligent life in the cosmos, this is how we'll be notified. 'Alienz, you guys!'"

"Sometimes (like just now) I have to check myself and not get too silly on my work account, and save the antics for my personal one. I forget that I’m representing more than myself on there, and that it is entirely possible (although highly unlikely ;) that my wit and charm would be a turn-off to potential clients; *sigh."

OMG, I've actually seen this done before! Years ago. As the non-IT "techy guy" at work a co-worker called me (thinking I would be less embarrassing than the IT guy) to ask if I would help her retrieve a CD that was "stuck in my computer." Thought it would be a jammed drive door, but found that she had done this same thing - except it went all the way through and was bouncing around inside the case.
