Tweetdeck adds geotagging and maps for iPhone

Version 1.3 of Twitter app taking on Tweetie 2, Echofon and the rest.

iPhone-owning Twitterers are spoilt for choice when it comes to apps - there are numerous high-quality ones to choose from on the App Store.

Tweetdeck - based on the desktop Twitter client of the same name - is one of them. It's just been updated to version 1.3.

The key new feature is a location-based addition: geotagging. It uses Twitter's geo API to allow users to automatically geotag tweets with their location.

Tweetdeck's iPhone app bolsters that with a new map feature, letting users browse tweets on a map, zooming in to see what people are saying.

Version 1.3 also adds more support for Twitter's recently-launched lists feature. The features will help it to compete against rivals like Tweetie 2 and Echofon.
