Taking Twitter Local
Twitter is starting to go local – and that could make it much more useful.
I like Twitter. But finding people who live in my general area has always been difficult. Local trends on Twitter will hopefully be a step toward resolving that.
Small Business Trends is excited about the business implicatins of a local push for Twitter.
There was a lot of buzz going into the weekend about a new Twitter addition called Twitter Local Trends and how this could help business owners find out what's hot in their local area. We touched on the importance of location-based apps last week while mentioning Yelp's new check-in service and this is just another example of things taking a more 'local' turn in 2010. And if Twitter builds this out the way I hope they will, Local Trends could open may very impressive doors.
Finding a way to tie Twitter more closely to geography can only make it more popular.

Twitter has started new feature called “Local”. And i think this feature is definitely helop for finding what new and hot in their local area.
I think Twitter is good option to finding what is hot in our nearest area.
I think if Twitter made it easier to find local people in your area it will only enhance the medium. I say this because if you can connect with people in your area you can discuss issues in your geographical area with people that are also having the same issues!
