Perhaps a sign there are limits to how much people share on Twitter, the microblogging service is removing the ability to tag a precise location in tweets, due to lack of use.

"Most people don't tag their precise location in tweets, so we're removing this ability to simplify your tweeting experience. You'll still be able to tag your precise location in Tweets through our updated camera. It's helpful when sharing on-the-ground moments," it said, on its Twitter Support account.
