A comment on the question "Setting Twitter location" in Tapulous:
On Twitterrific setting location is a separate function from posting a tweet. You can set your location at any time without tweeting, or you can tweet without setting your location. – Chris, on July 18, 2008 10:46-
Chris asked a question in Tapulous on July 18, 2008 03:12:
Responding to a someone I see nearbyIf I see someone nearby and send a response, does that response happen outside of Twitter? Clearly if the person has no Twitter account it must, but will it be outside of Twitter in any case? Will the communication be private? Is there documentation anywhere to which I can refer? -

Setting Twitter locationTwinkle doesn't appear to set the Twitter location when it posts to Twitter. Twitterrific for the iPhone does do this (optionally). For example, my current location at <http://twitter.com/captainslim> was set by Twitterrific. While it shows a set of lat/long coordinates, which aren't much to look at, I will appear in a "near:" search on search.twitter.com.
Can Twinkle be made to set the Twitter location? Is there a reason you wouldn't want it to? Since Twinkle determines the city before it posts, maybe it'd be better to set that as the location. -
Chris reported a problem in Loopt on July 13, 2008 18:36:
Loopt maps in a web browser aren't functionalI've had great success with Loopt on my iPhone, but when I log on from a computer with Firefox, I find that the maps don't display or only partially display. It appears that only the lower 48 U.S. states are displayed, with checkerboard patterns everywhere else. On the iPhone, on the other hand, the map is displayed for any part of the world. At the moment, I and another of my contacts are in Alaska, and another is in Hong Kong, so I can't see any of them on a map. Here's what I see when I look at my own location:
Besides being not especially useful, it's ugly, and it makes the application appear to be broken, even if there might be a good reason for it. -
Chris replied on July 12, 2008 14:39 to the question "How many SMS messages does Loopt actually burn?" in Loopt:
I've heard people say that "everything" is SMS-driven, but I've been using loopt for about a day with my phone in airplane mode and the wifi turned on (i.e. with no possibility of sending or receiving an SMS message), and it appears to be fully functional. I suppose that nobody could "ping" me, but I was able to invite someone else and ping someone else, which would seem to indicate that the SMS messages are being initiated by me but sent by the Loopt servers. I was even able to respond to an invitation, though because I had SMS turned off I wasn't aware of the invitation until I launched the loopt program and saw it in my list. -
Chris replied on July 04, 2008 22:23 to the idea "Location Support" in Ping.fm:
Of the services I use, Brightkite, Jaiku, and Twitter all support location (and Jaiku and Twitter expose it in the API). I'd love to be able to add "L:Location" to the end of my posts to have it set my location on the services to which I'm posting. -
Chris started following the problem "Firefox 3 does not allow the toolbar to be installed because "it does not offer secure updates"" in Loki.

Chris started following the question "Keep updates in English even when traveling internationally." in Brightkite.
