Twitter Developments - Local Trends
This feature actually came out a while ago but I just noticed it (again). Set your location in Twitter and the service gives you a list of trending topics from local Twitterers (Twitteri? Twitterati? Twits?). How well does it work? Could be more accurate but then again how well it reflects your area depends on
How many people around you Twitter
Whether they really talk about local events
Whether the know how to use hash tags #
Anyway, it’s a step in the direction of localization which is surely the future of the Internet. I mean, I don’t know about you but there is a limit to how often I want to hear what celebrities or residents of Silicon Valley are doing. Ya’ know?
