Hi everyone,

The core functionality and commonly used endpoints of GeoAPI.com have
already been migrated to the Twitter API, and many are in use on
twitter.com today.

Our data shows that the features we have migrated to the Twitter API
cover all but a handful of developers. With that, we want to let you
know that the GeoAPI will be turned off on March 31, 2011.

If you are still using the GeoAPI, we encourage you to move to the
Twitter APIs at your earliest opportunity. To help you do this we
have:
1. Matched GeoAPI place IDs with Twitter place IDs, allowing you to
continue to query Twitter with the IDs you already know.
2. Documented the Twitter APIs on the Twitter Developer Resources
site:
http://dev.twitter.com/doc/geo

If you have any questions about Geo in the Twitter API you can ask our
Developer Advocates and Community through the Twitter Developer
mailing list. You can join the mailing list through Google Groups:
http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/topics

We thank you for having used GeoAPI.com to power places in your
service.

Best,
@themattharris
Developer Advocate, Twitter

I'm poking around in the documentation - there are a couple of pages
missing, but one thing jumped out at me. Here's the use case: I'm sitting
in a restaurant with friends and I want to send out a tweet from my
Android. Let's say the restaurant isn't in the database and I want to do a
"Create Place". I don't think Twitter's Android app can do that! I know
Seesmic can't, and I'm not even sure mobile.twitter.com from the browser
can. This seems like a gaping hole to me.

You can create places with POST /geo/place.

Yes, I know I can *code* it - I want Twitter's *own* Android app to let me
do it *without* coding it!

Well then you should probably ask for it where the mobile developers will see it.

Is there a document that describes the mapping of geoAPI calls to the
new twitter API? For instance, how can I get a list of business of
specific type that are within a kilometer of a point?
Thanks,
D
