Comments on: TwitterWhere - Filter Tweets by Location http://www.mattking.org/2007-10/twitterwhere-filter-tweets-by-location.html Too many projects, too little time Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:47:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Mark Riffey http://www.mattking.org/2007-10/twitterwhere-filter-tweets-by-location.html#comment-1876 Mark Riffey Thu, 10 Apr 2008 04:53:36 +0000 http://www.mattking.org/2007-10/twitterwhere-filter-tweets-by-location.html#comment-1876 Matt, Would it be possible (in your "spare" time) to filter out your own (ie: my) posts when looking for people within x miles of my zip? Also - could you add more distance to the drop down? Some of us (ok, ok, ME) live in rural places where 20 miles is a trip to the nearest town (if you're lucky). 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 miles might work:) Thanks! Mark Matt,

The site page itself seems to be down. Did something get changed recently? I love the service and hope you are still maintaining it. Thanks!

I'm sure it meant Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan, but since it was just Sasebo, our geocoders somehow figured out that there is a <a href="http://www.cabq.gov/biopark/common/septemberevents.html#Sasebo" rel="nofollow">Sasebo Japanese Garden</a> in Albequerque, and thought that's what the real location was. Looks like our geocoders are a little to smart for their own good! Thanks for bringing it up, I'm sure there are a bunch of little discrepancies like this in other places we'll catch as TwitterWhere moves forward. @adin: I did a little research and it looks like the user’s location that showed up in your feed was Sasebo.
