Twitter Expands "Twitter Places" Location API

Twitter expanded its location service, known as Twitter Places, by adding new location data.

Twitter will be partnering with several new organizations as part of their location API expansion, including: A&E Television Networks and History, Apontador, CityGrid Media, DotMenu/Allmenus, Gowalla, Infogroup, Localeze, Maponics,
