Twitter on Thursday activated a location-tagging feature that will allow users to add their location information with the updates posted on the site.

Every day, millions of tweets are created. These little bursts of information are about anything and everything—they make Twitter a hub for discovering what’s happening right now, anywhere in the world. A recent burst of interest in location sharing applications, games, and services has many Twitter users excited about appending geographic data to some of their tweets.

Not everyone wants to add their current location to a tweet so this feature is off by default and must be activated to use.

Check out How To Tweet with Your Location to learn how you can turn it on.

People who choose to add this additional layer of context help make Twitter a richer information network – location data can make tweets more useful.

There are many ways location data can be useful when paired with tweets.
