On Twitter, if you do not wish to reveal your geographic location in your tweets, you can either completely disable the location feature from Twitter settings or you can can attach some random (read, fake) location to your tweet. →For instance, here's a recent tweet that specific my location as the White House in Washington DC though it was written from a place that is at least 8000 miles away.Fake your geographic location on TwitterAttach any Location to your TweetsNow most Twitter mobile clients won't let you attach random locations to your tweets but there's a web-based app called PleaseDontStalkMe.com that may come handy here. Here you can pick any location on a Google Map – either drag the marker or use the search box to reach an exact address – and tweet.Since the Twitter website no longer displays the app name that was used to send that tweet, your followers on Twitter are less likely to know that you faked your location in the tweet. Do remember to limit the length of your tweet to 140 characters else the tweet would fail but without offering an explanation.You can geotag your tweets from the Twitter.com website as well (click the Location icon near the tweet button) but in that case, you can only attach a city-level location to the tweet and not an exact location.Also see: How to Fake Twitter Conversations This story, Geotag your Tweets with any Random Location, was originally published at Digital Inspiration on 21/11/2012 under Location, Privacy, Twitter, Internet.
