Twitter is buying a location tracking company called Mixer Labs.
Mixer Labs, was founded a couple of former Google employees, who currently make the application for Twitter under the name of GeoAPI.
Twitter said the deal would allow Twitter users to show people where they are when they post updates to the site.
The application will also allow users to search where an event is happening, – great for social media optimisation.
