You knew it HAD to be coming… location provisioning in Twitter. Well, according to the Twitter blog indeed more support for location will be coming soon.

The new API will enable Twitters to optionally add location info to their tweets (like lat/long coords) and even cooler, users will be able to follow tweets by location so you could easily view tweets that are geographically close to your current location - nice!
This from the Twitter blog… We’re going to release geolocation to platform developers before we add the feature to Twitter.com. Most of the mobile applications people use and love are built by Twitter platform developers. Developers will have access to this new geolocation feature early which means it will most likely be available on your app of choice before it’s available on Twitter’s web site. Later, we’ll add it to our mobile web site and Twitter.com as well. Great stuff Twitter!
To date some third party apps have provided “some” level of location-awareness, for example, Twibble can grab a location via GPS fix from supported devices (I use it on a Nokia N95) and it enables me to include my location in a Tweet. Several others also provide similar capabilities and there are others apps (like several in the Android market) that enable users to easily Tweet “I am here” sending a google map hyperlink to a twitter account.
