Twitter is become more popular with every passing day. Just recently twitter has taken a place among the "top 50" most visited websites.

According to a new comScore report twitter has become more popular than ever. The reports reveals that the site has reached 50 million unique visits for the first time. Leaving behind very popular websites like BBC and Craiglist.

In July, the website notched up 51.6 million unique users – up 7.1 million from June.

This is certainly a very good news for the owners of Twitter who are already working on a new ways to bring in advertising revenue.

Twitter has been adding a new feature in its application. Twitter is working on a Location-based Twitter project.

With the help of Location-based Twitter API the location of a users can be mapped. There's no reliable way to know where a tweet is coming from. Twitter wants to change that, though, and they've got a geolocation team working on an API that will let app developers map your tweets.

This new feature makes Twitter truly location-aware. A new API will allow developers to add latitude and longitude to any tweet. Folks will need to activate this new feature by choice because it will be off by default and the exact location data won't be stored for an extended period of time. However, if people do opt-in to sharing location on a tweet-by-tweet basis, compelling context will be added to each burst of information.
