Twitter Hack – How to Tweet Your Palm Pre’s GPS Location!

September 11th, 2009

Here’s a really fun Twitter hack that shows you how to “tweet” your Palm Pre’s GPS location to your Twitter account.  This could be a great way to track your Pre’s whereabouts as you can also optionally set your Twitter account to “protected” so only you see the GPS updates.

As promised on my last blog post on how to set up Google GPS tracking on your Palm Pre, I will now show you how to “tweet’ your GPS location to a Twitter account so you can track it on Twitter too.

This might be a great way to keep “track” of where your Palm Pre has been.  You could probably even make a GoogleMaps using the Twitter RSS feed to show exactly where your Palm Pre has been traveling in the past.

For those of you twitter addicts out there who need to know what’s trending on Twitter, there’s a cool Twitter Hack that will update the latest trending topics on a small LCD screen.  This isn’t that hard to implement it looks like, check it out here.

The #twatch connects directly to Twitter and scrolls the latest trending topics and related tweets on an LCD screen. It’s a stand-alone network appliance that stays updated without a PC. It was awesome to watch #iranelection, Michael Jackson, and other historic events scroll by while we developed the #twatch.
