[OT, but i think of interest to this list]

Twitter will soon allow posts to contain geolocation information. Some
information about functionality and privacy protection is here:

The official API documentation is here:

Sadly, they are not specifying which CRS the coordinates have to be in
... (but since they are re-using geoRSS, my personal assumption would be
WGS84 - which is the default there)
