San Francisco -- Twitter, the San Francisco-based microblogging service, said that it has introduced a new location-sharing feature, giving users the option to include the location from where they are sending their tweets. "A recent burst of interest in location sharing applications, games and services has many Twitter users excited about appending geographic data to some of their tweets," Twitter co-founder and CEO Biz Stone wrote on the company's blog. Stone added that "not everyone wants to add their current location to a tweet," so the company has turned the feature off by default, meaning users must activate location-sharing. The new feature currently only supports Firefox 3.5 and Chrome browsers for Windows.
