Earlier today Twitpic's Noah Everett tweeted about the new feature by linking to a collection of photos grouped by location from Charleston, South Carolina. The photos are grouped based on the geolocation data pulled in from the Twitter Places API.
Of course, Twitpic's Twitter Places support is limited to its own web interface for photo uploads and other third-party apps with Twitter Places integration. This means that, at least for now, the number of photos grouped by place is minimal.
In testing we did noticed that the Places search functionality doesn't appear to be working as intended, although this could have something to do with the scarcity of geotagged photos.
Twitpic's Twitter Places integration follows the addition of Photo Events and Face Tagging, which have been released in recent weeks. When coupled together, the Twitpic improvements make for a much-enhanced Twitter photo sharing and saving experience.
