Tracking down the spots where Twitter users post tweets – in pictures
Marlene Breverman stashed this in Twitter, Privacy
Using the publicly available GPS information embedded in Twitter feeds, photographers Nate Larson and Marni Shindelman photograph the exact location where Twitter users tweet. They caption the pictures with the tweets, giving a context to what are mostly just passing thoughts, and the result is funny and sad and poignant.

"Twitter estimates there are over 450 million tweets daily worldwide, creating a new level of digital noise. Geolocation is a means for situating this virtual communication in the physical realm, exploring cities 140 characters at a time through the lives of others". http://www.flashpowderprojects.com/#/geolocation/.Â
It's important to remember that whenever we tweet the world knows where we are.Â
It's not only where, it's who we are, also. It starts by looking at locations of tweets. But match them to any surveillance camera recordings, and well, presto... like the looks of the tweeter? What nefarious goings-on we've created.Â
Not even deliberately. I don't think Twitter intended to make privacy so hard.Â
