Twitter recently turned on the ability to add location information with your tweets, as described on the How To Tweet With Your Location page and rolled out the feature to its users. With the new feature, if a user clicks on location information in a location-aware tweet, a small Google map will be displayed showing the location of origin.

As of now, as per this LA Times Blog Post, there is no easy way to find all followers within a specific distance around a user’s current point. Which is unfortunate, because until we can identify the location of every twit within a certain radius, we won’t be able to identify those locations which are twit free, which, frankly, are the only places I want to be.
