I've created a Yahoo Pipe that filters out the latitude, longitude of a twitter user (along with the age of the data in seconds)

You can go and visit the pipes page if you want to mess around with it/clone it or you can just use the CSV url to get the data straight away!

If the user has a geotag'd tweet in their last 200 then this will return a simple CSV of their Lat/Long and age of the data, or an empty file if no data is found.

I'm working on a replacement for this as it can be fairly slow. I'm trying to write code that will parse the twitter feed on the mbed itself.
