Twitter is zeroing in with its location plans. The company says in a blog post that users will now be able to tag their tweets as coming from a specific location—like a soccer stadium or restaurant—instead of just a general neighborhood or city. The feature will also tie-in to check-in services like Foursquare and Gowalla so that when users of those services publish their activity to Twitter, a “Twitter place” will be associated with them. That means people who look up a specific location on Twitter will be able to see recent check-ins there as well as Tweets coming from there.

For now, Twitter says the feature is useful because it “helps to know where a Tweet is coming from—is that person watching the game on TV or is he actually in the stadium?” It’s not too far-fetched though to think that the data could also be useful as company’s ad model evolves.
