Hello all,
Just a general question about a location-based predicate. According to the streaming API docs... "Only tweets that are both created using the Geotagging API and are placed from within a tracked bounding box will be included in the stream..." But, as other have pointed out, a lot/most of the statuses that come back from such a filtered query don't always contain GeoLocation data. So... what's going on here? Am I missing something? I'm not necessarily concerned that I'm getting more data than I can use (although it's unfortunate from a rate-limiting standpoint), but my curiosity is certainly piqued. For the project I'm working on (I'm a grad student), I'm trying to "listen" to activity in different locations and sonify it on the fly. In keeping with best practices, I build one filter predicate for a handful of locations and try to make sense of the data as it comes by, rather than opening a handful of streams. As a result, I end up with a great many tweets I can't attribute to a geographic source, sans GeoLocation data. Based on the wording above though, I understand it to mean a status that clears the filter should have that information. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
