      4 Twitter proxy that refuses status updates with location metadata.

      6 Motivation
      7 ===
      8 
      9 I really like using [Seesmic for Android](http://seesmic.com/products/android), but I worry the teeny
     10 form factor will make it easy for me to accidentally tweet things I don't intend
     11 (like my location).
     12 
     13 Twitter does a great job of making you check a "include locations" box in your
     14 settings before you can include locations in your tweets, but:
     15 
     16 * I can check that box from my phone in a fit of madness.
     17 * Twitter doesn't need to consult with me before changing its policy on location metadata.
