TwitArea – instant short URL’s for places
August 4th, 2009 admin

TwitArea is a Firefox 3.0.11 or higher add-on to allow you to share locations quickly and easily. These places are not necessarily where you are located, but could be you talking about a place in general, like a restaurant. The extension adds a new button to the web Twitter interface to find a place, by address, phone number or name, and then send a tweet containing a link, contact info, location and even votes and comments from other users. Demos included the ability to rate the place and it did have sponsored links on the pages it created for each place
