Labs - Twitter Location to Google Latitude Syncer
This is the help guide to vzaar’s labs project for syncing your twitter location to Google Latitude
Aren’t vzaar video guys?
- Yes, this is a little labs project we did for fun. We did this to promote our Objective C library for our video api.
- What’s Objective C? It’s the language used to write Apple applications for iOS (iPad, iPhone etc) and Mac OS
What does it do?
- We take your last location from twitter and send it to Google Latitude every 5 minutes or so.
- This of course only works with your twitter location turned on.
What do I have to do?
- You need to authorise us with Twitter and Google. We do the rest.
Security
- We use oAuth, and never see your password. You can revoke our access to your accounts at any time, either on here or on Google.
- What is oAuth? It’s a way for you to give us access to your Twitter and Google Latitude accounts, but without worrying about giving us your password
It’s now working
- Make sure your Twitter App is sending the location.
- Make sure you have authorised us on both Google and Twitter
- Make sure the sync switch is set to on
- Wait 5 mins or so. we don’t update instantly.
