While Twitter has released it’s location API it has not fully integrated it into it’s site just yet.  So as a developer if you are annotating tweets from your app with locations it may not be easy to tell if its working.  The simple solution is to look at the RSS feed, for example:  http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/thesuggestr_bot.rss

In the resulting XML if you see (with different values of course) <georss:point>32.898393216 -97.044557447</georss:point> – then you have successfully posted a location.

Remember that the user must opt-in to having the location of his/her tweets shared.
