Real-Time Geo
A lot of engineers and product developers wonder how to “place enable” their applications or concepts. Part of that is an engineering challenge, and part of that is a UI and user expectation challenge. This workshop will attempt to answer those questions. Specifically, this talk is based around concepts that Twitter has used to create an architecture specifically targeted to be able to handle “real-time geo”. At Twitter, we’ve built a system that enables the Twitter ecosystem to be location-enabled, allows our architecture to make inferences about places, and enables people to find out about the world. How can you use the same concepts that Twitter has used to build your own app?
