Hi all,
Is it possible to get the latitude and longitude of the location of a
tweet? If I do
tweets<- searchTwitter("#obama", n=200) #get tweets
df <- twListToDF(tweets) #converts to data frame
for ease of viewing
it does not seem to be getting the location of where that tweet was posted.
From what I read from the twitter API this is possible?
Thanks, Sachin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

That worked but how do you get the location of one particular tweet. So from that list of 10, say the first tweet, is there a way to say at exactly what location it was tweeted?
You are teetering on the edge of potential stalking here, since locating a specific tweet implies locating a specific individual. In some countries that can be a problem. JWDougherty

Location is currently disabled by default in twitter; a user must choose to enable it for location to be available. That would constitute a clear decision to publish location. No sensible judiciary would regard it as an offence, of itself, to access an individual's location when the individual has themselves has chosen to publish it to a public place such as the web.
But intent matters: as they say, it's what you do with it that counts. You might land yourself with having to defend the intent. So you're not wrong to raise the issue.
