Let's take for example, you want to search for software developer job vacancies in an area. Or maybe you just want to network with developers within your community. Good news is you can do that via Twitter. I'll teach you how to do that in this brief article.
The process requires three vital information:
(i) the geocode/coordinates of a location within the area,
(ii) the radius distance, and
(iii) the key words or phrase.
Geocode/Coordinates:- this a number representing the position of a point on the earth surface.
Radius distance:- this is needed to specify the area to be covered around the selected location.
Once you've gotten that. Enter the information into Twitter search bar in this format:
geocode:latitude,longitude,radius "terms0" OR "terms1" OR "terms2"
For example:
geocode:6.508840,3.376287,10km "coding" OR "web developer" OR "mobile app developer" OR "Software developers"
By default, Twitter will first show you the top result. You can also navigate to see the latest, people, photos and videos.
Below is the process of getting the coordinates of a location using Google Maps on different devices
On Android Google Maps
On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app.
Touch and hold an area of the map. You'll see a red pin appear.
You'll see the coordinates in the search box at the top.
On iPhone Google Maps
On your iPhone or iPad, open the Google Maps app .
Touch and hold an area of the map. You'll see a red pin appear.
At the bottom, tap Dropped pin. You'll now see the coordinates.
On a computer via Google Maps web
On your computer, open Google Maps. If you're using Maps in Lite mode, you’ll see a lightning bolt at the bottom and you won't be able to get the coordinates of a place.
Right-click the place or area on the map.
Select What's here?
At the bottom, you’ll see a card with the coordinates.
Ok, that's all. Good luck.
