I doing some data viz projects at the minute and trying to get the geolocation of individual tweets.
All I get is a returned null using the twitter4j getGeoLocation() method.
I've searched high and wide on google and forums, but no one seems to have an answer.
Can anyone help?
I realize twitter users have to have geolocation enabled in their preferences - and I have been searching through thousands of tweets in different parts of the world, but I can't find a single one that returns location data.
Does no one have this feature enabled, or am I doing something wrong, or is there something wrong with twitter4j or the twitter api?
Kind of screws up my data viz plans!
Thanks for any help.
