I'd like to be able to attached co-ordinates to Twitter posts... so at least people my entries from the web could click through to, say, Google Maps of my location when I posted an item. That'd be neat... with more and more devices coming with positioning hardware, and a likely increase in dedicated clients like Twit!

Dont forget the text limitation though. If it were lat/lon you were after, you'd lose at least 12-20 characters out of your available message space.

Yeah, I was kinda assuming it'd only be used from twitter clients like twit, rather than SMS.

isn't that still subject to the same message size limit?
How about defining locations you're frequently at (and don't mind disclosing) and having shortcodes for each, so when you're at one of those it's only a character or two extra passed in? Also won't tip the missus off that you're buying her b'day present the day before

A lat long with half decent accuracy doesn't take up much space
