Twitter 360 is one of the first iPhone applications to use the new Twitter's Geotagging feature to geotag your tweets.
Please, note that Twitter 360 does not intend to be a fully Twitter client, our goal is to provide a different approach to the Twitter experience. We are already working on new ideas to be added in this application.
Video demo of the application available here: http://www.youtube.com/presseliteapps

FEATURES
************************************************************
- Twitter 360 annotates your tweets with GPS location information. Your friends can now see, via Augmented Reality, the location from where your last tweet was posted. Geotagging is disabled by default for all users, which means you will need to turn it on by going to Twitter.com "settings" section in order to use it in Twitter 360 app.
- “Latest Tweets” mode. See the latest tweets of your friends (iPhone horizontal position), and the location from where they were posted (iPhone vertical position) using the Augmented Reality functionality. When a tweet is selected, a blue arrow (compass) is displayed to show the direction and the distance to the location from where the tweet was posted. The distance is updated in real time as you walk in the streets.
- Touch the Star to add your best Twitter friends in your favourites.
- “Locate my Friends” mode. List of all your best friends. Twitter 360 lets you track geographic movements of your friends, you can now see where are located your nearby friends via Augmented Reality. If you want to hang out with a particular friend, use this tool to go meet him / her. Unlike the “Latest Tweets” mode (which is more focused on the tweets), the location of each of your friends is calculated with the “location” field data on the Twitter account. When a friend is selected, a blue arrow is displayed to show the direction and the distance to the location of that friend. The selected friend is highlighted in blue. The distance is updated in real time as you walk in the streets.
- When you launch Twitter 360, a small bird will localize your exact position and update the “location” field data on your Twitter account with the coordinates, only if you want.
- The application is fully compatible with Google Map. It is possible to locate your nearest Twitter friends from your position on Google Map within the application.
- Switch off the geolocalization option in the setting to be in “invisible” mode. Your friends won't be able to see where you are anymore. Your tweets won't be geotagged.
The Augmented Reality functionality is only available to iPhone 3GS users. This application does not work on other iPhone / iPod Touch models for the moment.

Der ‘Augmented Reality Browser’ Layar (kostenlos; App Store-Link) erreichte im Herbst 2009 den App Store, verzog sich jedoch kurz darauf für (stark benötigte) Wartungsarbeiten wieder in seiner Entwickler-Werkstatt. Mit Version 3.0.2 und den kürzlich akquirierten 2.5 Millionen Euro Risikokapital im Rücken, wagt das niederländische Start-Up jetzt einen neuen Anlauf. Auf der Android-Plattform ist der Browser, welcher das reale Kamerabild mit virtuellen Ebenen überzieht, bereits sehr erfolgreich. Die neue Version soll nach Aussagen ihrer Entwickler über 400 dieser Informationsschichten (‘Layars’ genannt) bereithalten – von Staumeldern, über Umgebungs-Tweets bis zu nahegelegenen Supermärkten. Seitdem Apple im letzten Jahr das ‘Go!’ für den (Video-)Kamerazugriff auf dem iPhone 3GS gab, tummeln sich unzählige Anbieter auf diesem Software-Markt. Die Zukunftsperspektive von Wikitude (kostenlos; App Store-Link, der Volkswagen Händlersuche (kostenlos; App Store-Link), Peaks (2.39 €; App Store-Link), Gunman (kostenlos; App Store-Link), oder Tweet 360 (0.79 €; App Store-Link) scheinen dynamische Werbeeinblendungen. Auch wenn Programme mit Augmented Reality-Funktion derzeit

AppAdvice has teamed up with Presselite to offer all of you a chance at winning one of five (5) promo codes for Twitter 360. Twitter 360 is an augmented reality app that allows you to view the last physical location your friends tweet from thanks to Twitter’s new geotagging feature. When you first launch the app, it can localize your current position and update the location field data on your Twitter account, but only if you allow it to. Once the app has loaded you can view your friends tweets and their location via the “Latest Tweets” tab, or highlight only your favorites and view them via the “Locate my Friends” tab. The app also allows you to customize the distance from which tweet locations will be displayed and the number of tweets you would like it to load. Twitter 360 isn’t meant to be a full-featured Twitter app, it’s simply

As far as AR (augmented reality) Twitter apps go, Twitter 360 [iTunes Link] looks like the best of the bunch... so far. In what will no doubt become the top term of 2010, this augmented reality app allows you to track your friends via geolocation of their tweets. If you're into that sort of thing (or have an iPhone 3GS, since AR apps use the compass to position their markers). If the thought of strangers tracking you while you tweet creeps you out (and frankly, it should), rest assured that tracking is opt-in in that you can turn off geotagging for your tweets. As Fast Company points out, a neat feature is setting your "limit" or range of detection for tracking tweets. You can set this to World and see just how far away everyone is from wherever you happen to be standing. So yeah, pretty soon we'll all be tracking

Some six months ago, we had a small conniption over an augmented reality application for Twitter on the iPhone. With the release of Twitter's geotagging API, however, users were bound to see more and better AR apps for the popular microblogging service. Twitter 360 has just come up on our radar, and it looks like a dream from the outset. But will its features live up to user expectations? Back in the day, we wrote of TwittARound, "You can see live tweets around your location and you can even see how far away they are. To accomplish this, TwittARound uses a combination of the iPhone's compass and its accelerator-enabled GPS to determine the location of tweets and then layers those on top of a live video feed." Sadly, Apple wouldn't allow the app in the App Store and would only work on a jailbroken 3GS. How, then, does this new hotness

Aunque ya en otras ocasiones os hemos hablado de la realidad aumentada en el iPhone, hoy, lo primero que vamos a hacer, antes que nada, es explicaros en qué consiste. Se trata a grandes rasgos y según la wikipedia, de añadir información virtual a la información real y física ya existente, gracias a algún dispositivo. Pues bien, el dispositivo, en este caso, sería el iPhone, y la aplicación encargada de ofrecer esa realidad aumentada Twitter 360. Esta aplicación, como sus desarrolladores dicen, no es un cliente twitter, si no una herramienta con la que poder experimentar nuevas sensaciones usando Twitter. Lo que haría sería, gracias a la cámara integrada del iPhone y la geolocalización, mostrar los Twitt de aquellas personas cercanas al entorno físico por el que te mueves y mostrarlo de una forma muy visual y a tiempo real. Pero lo mejor es que veais un video del programa en cuestion

Augmented reality Twitter isn't new to the App Store, but their official geolocation service is just a few weeks old. How? Hacks! Twitter 360 is the first augmented reality Twitter app to support the official API, and it looks fantastic. Previously, the only way to grab location data from Twitter was to scrape through user profiles or to rely on some kind of third-party geodata service, with which Twitter users could upload their current locations as individual Tweets. It worked, sort of, but it was janky and awkward. Now that Twitter lets you embed your location in each tweet without taking up any characters, things are different. Most new iPhone Twitter clients support the GPS tagging feature, so there's no shortage of location data to play with, and Twitter 360 is one of the first apps to really take advantage of it. You can basically watch your Twitter friends leave a

Slowly, but surely, augmented reality apps are finally hitting the iPhone. Released just today, Twitter 360 (available on the App Store for $2.99) aims to give you an augmented reality view of nearby tweets. The app utilizes Twitter’s new Geotagging feature to determine how far the tweets are coming from you, and it also provides your own tweets with GPS information. Like all augmented reality apps, which require a digital compass to work properly, Twitter 360 only works on the iPhone 3GS. The app offers the ability to see nearby tweets, find your friend’s tweets geographically, and has a built-in Google Maps view to further help visualizing tweet location. While it’s certainly a cool app conceptually, my use of Tweetie’s nearby tweet functionality hasn’t proven to be all that useful—but it could just be that I live in a neighborhood with boring Twitter users. On the other hand, Twitter 360 could

A promising new Twitter client for the iPhone has been released that is making a compelling pitch for augmented reality. As you can see from the video, it keeps tabs on geotagged tweets and lets you see them overlaid onto the image viewed from your iPhone’s camera. If the camera is facing the ground, it switches to a compass mode that points an arrow towards nearby tweets. For those a little farther away, you can see international tweets on a Google Maps layer, but of course you can also go to the traditional timeline to see everyone you’re following in a traditional chronological list. Twitter released official geolocation APIs a little over a month ago, so this AR interface should work with folks tweeting from any client that leverages them. Considering how few twitter users are yet to plug into geolocation right now, I would really like to have the option
