Twitter currently supports the tagging of general areas, like a city or neighborhood, but with this partnership, tweets will soon be able to include more specific locations, like landmarks, businesses, hotels, place that are already available on Foursquare. Users will be able to choose from a drop-down menu of nearby places based on data provided . Mobile Twitter users will still have tweets labelled with their precise location in addition to any label selected.

Twitter did not said when the Foursquare integration is coming and just said that it is coming soon.
