Yesterday I received this tweet:

Twitter / Gary Bradford: Checking out maps of geota ...

I clicked on it and couldn't bring myself to install Silverlight on my Mac. Boooo. This morning, however, I realized I could install it in Parallels and that would be fine (which is a bit of a rationalization, but whatever.)

What I found was pretty amazing. Bing Twitter Maps.

I was a bit put off by the fact that you have to install a maps plugin to see this, primarily because this decreases the number of people who will use it significantly. But still, I think this can be an incredible tool for small businesses. 

If you are active in the community, running specials, advertising a new location, or planning an event, using the new geo-tagging feature in Twitter is a must.

This feature is off by default in Twitter, so if you want to leverage location aware tweets, you have to go into your Settings (here: http://twitter.com/account/settings) and "Enable geotagging". See below.

Geotagging  

Take note you can also kill your location data later if you so choose.
