Here is a sketch I have been using to do a geoLocation search using the twitter4j library. I'm tring to get all the possible tweets from a location focusing only on the coordinates of the tweet. My goal is to get the exact position of the people during the day using twitter.

I created a loop to make the query every 10,4 sec (in order not to reach the twitter-rate limit) but there's something wrong.
I've done some tests tweeting from within the query coordinates but I can't get these tweets back in the output code.

Can anyone point me in the direction as to why?

Any advice or help would be appreciated
