Hey all

Is there any way I can get all the tweets from a zipcode? Eg:- all the
tweets from 10019

Let me know if I can do that.

Thanks

not directly -- you could grab http://geocoder.us/help/city_state_zip.shtml
and then feed those into twitter search using the "geocode" parameter.

hmm thanks got that way through the search api. I already have the db with the lat long just wanted to be sure if twitter directly supports what I was looking for.

Thanks a lot

You can by getting the latitude and longitude for the zipcode and then
use search with those coordinates in specified radius. You can also do
it trough the streaming api with tweets containing geo location
information.

Currently the Streaming API does not support Geotag filter predicates,
but we'll get there soon enough.
