Twitterrific’s iPhone App updates your location on twitter using the twitter api. This is fine and dandy but the problem is that it updates with the actual latitude and longitude that (I assume) comes from the iphone api.
So, since most people simply just want to know where you are without hurting their heads doing a reverse geocode, I have created a greasemonkey user script to help them out.
It takes a twitterrific created location that says “iPhone: 40.733956,-73.992789″ and turns it into “New York, New York, US”
If you have greasemonkey installed, all you need to do is download and install this user script and you will be set. If you don’t have greasemonkey, then you will need to obviously install it first and revisit this page to download the user script.
Hopefully one day the twitterrific iphone app will do this automatically so this script is not needed, but until then, I hope this helps some people out.
