Twitter 360 displays friend locations via map
Presselite has introduced Twitter 360, an app for the iPhone 3GS that enables users to visualize their Twitter friends at nearby locations. The app utilizes GPS navigation technology and an Augmented Reality function to display user locations based on where their last tweet was posted. After selecting a tweet, a blue arrow will display the direction and distance to the tweet location. The distance is updated in real-time as users walk around.
Twitter 360 also supports Google Maps for displaying positions of both the user and close contacts. Other features include a “locate my friends” mode, the ability to add Twitter friends to a favorites list, and a geolocalization option that can be turned off if user no longer wants to be seen by their friends.
The app is currently designed for use with only the iPhone 3GS and is available for download from the App Store for $3.
