Can an IP address be traced from Twitter to a city? - Teresa - 01-16-2013 10:37 AM
I was really good friends with this person on Twitter, but all of a sudden she stopped tweeting. She also stopped blogging on her Tumblr account. I don't want to assume the worst, but I miss her a lot and just want some closure.
It's a big hope, but what I want is to be able to track her IP address from a tweet down to a city. Then I'll search for any news about deaths in that city during the month she stopped logging online. Maybe she made it to the news.
I know it seems like I'm assuming things, but her last ever tweets were about suicide committed by a girl who was also on Twitter. I just want to make sure she's okay. Thanks for any helpful answers in advance.

Well ofcourse put the IP in on this site and it should take it down to a city.

If you know IP address then is easy to track it down with IP locators:

http://www.ipaddresslocation.org
http://www.ip-tracker.org
http://www.find-ip-address.org
Bit i'm not sure how you will come behind IP address on Twitter.
