Alan's Assessments?

I was logging into the twitter web client today and noticed a new feature. Localized Twitter Trends. Not sure how long this option has been around, but looks to be a useful feature as it expands.

I know a few months ago they allowed you to share your location and opened the API to this setting. Now clients like Tweetie2 can access this feature. So when I came across the web based localized trends, I jumped right into it. I'm betting it won't be long before twitter clients add this feature.

When you log into the web client, down by the trends sections, you will see a little bubble if you have not already set it. Click set and away you go.

Twitter LocationFor me, the downside is not being able to pick local and national or worldwide at the same time. Hopefully the Twitter folks will expand this.

Here's to continued development of the twitter APIs. As features like this can be really useful in todays world.
