Realtime Twitter locations

read the new blogposting about location based tweets

I've created a script which parses Twitter (almost) realtime and shows the location of the Twitter user. Just change the keyword you want to look for ('w' variable) and use the GPS locations for the area you want to monitor ('nb' and 'el' variables).

If all works well (and the Twitter API is not down), you can open the feed in a standard RSS feedparser or you can use it with Google maps.

I'm updating my scripts almost daily, so if you want to know more or if you have any ideas about the practical use of Twitter, let me know !
