TweetPixx For Android: Explore Geo-Tagged Twitter Images On Map

Back in June, we reviewed Instamap – a free Android app that lets users explore geo-tagged Instagram photos on map. Then, just a couple of weeks ago, the official Instagram Android and iOS apps got updated with exactly the same feature. The point I am trying to make here is that, with so many geo-location based apps available across both leading smartphone platforms, and with the amount of photo sharing going on over Twitter, is there an app that merges both concepts into a single package? Well, as I just happened to find out, TweetPixx has the answer. Available in the Google Play Store for free, this brand new app brings a refreshed Twitter experience on your Android, as it lets you explore the vast world of the world’s leading micro-blogging network via geo-tagged images. Whether it’s a photo from your own Twitter Timeline, stunning visuals shared by your friends, pictures that you’ve favorited, photos shared from your vicinity, or any image shared from within the range of a user-specified area, TweetPixx is capable of showing them all on map, as well as on a grid. In addition, the app lets you explore local trends (via hashtags), browse images via Google’s Street View, search for Twitter photos by keywords, explore Twitter user profiles, bookmark favorite items, log browsing history, share the best content with your buddies, and use various customary Twitter tools to have your say on shared content.

You may know that most smartphones and new digital cameras have the ability to embed location, also referred to as geotag, along with numerous other image attributes into your picture as EXIF metadata. Although metadata of pictures taken by camera or smartphone gives you a detailed information, including exact GPS location where the photo was taken, name, XResolution, YResolution, ISO, YCbCrPositioning, and date and time stamp, it’s generally advised to remove such metadata from pictures before sharing them with others.
