The Twibble team have recently uploaded twibble mobile version 0.8.1.
Using this app, users can now update twitter profile location directly
from the phone. If you have a GPS phone you can submit your GPS data
which can be translated into a address by the twibble server (reverse
geocoded).
It works like this:
- start twibble
- start GPS and wait until it says GPS in the title
- go to Update Profile Location
- select Geocode and update
If everything works well you should see your location in your twitter profile settings. (Source: Twibble blog)
