Twitter has turned on geolocation in its web interface.
it uses browser based location. I just tried it while at
backspace, which geomena.org has an accurate record for.
It reverse geocoded to a neighborhood instead of a street
address.

Very cool. I like the integration a lot. Finally I can see a little map when tweets are geocoded!

I just added some access points for Cabo San Lucas to geomena, then tried having Twitter look up my location. It still says it can't locate me, even though geomena.org returns a lat/lng and street address. I wonder if this means Twitter is using its own database of neighborhoods.
