  1. @Zorgspliff Hopefully this blog post answers your questions? http://bit.ly/7BBkyq about 2 hours ago from TweetDeck in reply to Zorgspliff
  2. New geo bloggage: Of Duplicates, Line Endings, PlaceTypes and Other Data Critters - http://bit.ly/7BBkyq about 23 hours ago from TweetDeck
  3. @Zorgspliff OK. Thanks. We're looking into this right now. 3:41 AM Nov 24th from TweetDeck in reply to Zorgspliff
  4. @Zorgspliff Can you let us have specific examples; not all dupes are genuine dupes (if you see what I mean) 3:49 AM Nov 22nd from TweetDeck in reply to Zorgspliff
  5. RT @portableant: @vicchi Interesting stuff in your GeoPlanet data. Area codes for phone numbers. Arabic names looks useful for museum data. 8:04 AM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  6. Vaguely geo: The US Interstate System ... in the style of Harry Beck's London Underground Tube map - http://bit.ly/1iRGB6 7:45 AM Nov 20th from TweetDeck
  7. @jebui Officially you can't yet (that's in the pipe for early next year). Unofficially the Flickr API can help you do that. 2:11 AM Nov 20th from TweetDeck in reply to jebui
  8. @NunoCardoso Ah. I see. We can probably help on this. Watch this space early next year. 9:34 AM Nov 19th from TweetDeck in reply to NunoCardoso
  9. @NunoCardoso Not something we've considered; sounds like a great idea for a mashup though ... 9:23 AM Nov 19th from TweetDeck in reply to NunoCardoso
  10. @AlisonW Consider PlaceTypes 1 through 5 "place-holders" for future functionality (no pun intended there) 2:31 AM Nov 19th from web
  11. @AlisonW PlaceTypes 4 and 6 are actually different; see http://where.yahooapis.com/... 2:30 AM Nov 19th from web
  12. I particularly like the way that some people are starting to drop WOEIDs in their Tweets; @cgriego and @johnakeith ... I'm looking at you! 2:15 AM Nov 19th from TweetDeck
  13. @MichaelKramer True but GeoPlanet isn't a geocoder -- it's a WOE-coder and the query string ... isn't. But plans are afoot to sort this. 2:26 PM Nov 18th from TweetDeck in reply to MichaelKramer
  14. Vaguely Geo: See everywhere Sherlock Holmes went ... on a map. Geospatially my dear Watson. http://bit.ly/4kRBwd (via @Londonist) 7:03 AM Nov 18th from TweetDeck
  15. @MichaelKramer So you're talking about "feeding" a postal code and country into GeoPlanet? 6:23 AM Nov 18th from TweetDeck in reply to MichaelKramer
  16. The latest version of GeoPlanet Data is now online and downloadable; go and get your latest lot of geo-data-goodness at http://bit.ly/1skd7Y 3:46 AM Nov 18th from TweetDeck
  17. @michaelkramer We're happy for your WOEID masterage; care to share the reason? 1:46 AM Nov 17th from TweetDeck in reply to MichaelKramer
  18. @Zorgspliff Yes. They can be retrieved. But they're used a lot. So this is a time saver. If it's useless to you, just discard it. 11:38 AM Nov 16th from TweetDeck in reply to Zorgspliff
  19. @Zorgspliff Would be interesting to hear why you think they're useless? And yes, we do, when we're hiring! :-) 9:27 AM Nov 16th from TweetDeck in reply to Zorgspliff
