[twitter-dev] Geo-enabled but only geo/ in xml

[chrisR]

Hi there,

I'm confused by the apparent status of geotagging in twitter.

The API documentation only mentions it for status update and advice on
geo-enabling in applications.

So I enabled this on my profile and so am seeing the
geo_enabledtrue/geo_enabled when using 'twitter.com/statuses/
user_timeline.xml' with basic authentication.

But.

There is pnly a single empty geo/ tag in the XML, no actual data at
all.

Does anyone know what is happening?

Many Thanks,
Chris.

the geotag needs to be passed in explicitly by the application doing  
the update
