Matt of BBC Sport is using twibble mobile to tweet the latests and greatest of the Olympic Summer Games in Beijing. He is even sending his GPS coordinates along with his tweets! You can exactly see where he is in a map. This is how it look likes in Google Maps (click on the map to open Google Maps):
Even more impressive are Matt’s tweets in Google Earth. Add ‘http://api.twibble.de/statuses/user_timeline/bbcsport_matt.kml’ as a network link and click on a tweet to fly to China.
Or you can open twibble mobile on your phone and use the ‘Show in map’ function. Just follow @bbcsports_matt (http://twitter.com/bbcsport_matt).

Not sure where to post any bug reports, (or if you want to hear them) but every time I click on the twibble window the window jumps like I was trying to drag the top bar to where I clicked. I’m using twibble version 0.3.3 on my PowerBook.
I really like twibble, keep up the good work.

@MrBobDobolina bug reports are always welcome, they help to make twibble better. Sometimes I am also a victim of a jumping twibble. It seems to appear only on a Mac and only if you enable ‘click’ in your touchpad system settings. I am almost sure that’s a bug in the current Adobe AIR runtime. We try to work around something in the next version!
