On the evening of July 15, December 9, Beijing time, Twitter is improving the Places location function, allowing developers to access a more powerful database to provide a better location service experience.

In June this year, Twitter launched the Places service, allowing users to include location information in Twitter messages. Today, Twitter is integrating data from suppliers such as Gowalla, OpenTable, TomTom, Zagat, and Yellow Pages Group into a single database, allowing developers to access and obtain location information.

Twitter said that the extended database allows developers to easily provide users with more locations to mark, making it easier to associate Twitter messages with specific locations.

Although this is not a major news, it shows that Twitter continues to use location data as a means to strengthen its services. Some analysts said that if Twitter Places is combined with the forthcoming Annotations platform, Twitter will enter the local comment market. As more and more geographic information is available, Twitter is bound to develop in this direction. (Li Ming)
