About Nearby Tweets

What is Nearby Tweets?

Nearby Tweets is a geography-centric Twitter tool (localizing Twitter) for social networking, building customer relationships, and monitoring real-time buzz.

Why Nearby Tweets?

Twitter's public stream is overwhelming at up to 12,000 tweets per minute. That's like reading 2 600-page hardback english novels every minute!*

Where do you start finding relevance in 12,000 tweets? There are 195 countries in the world and chances are you're most interested in the tweets of only one city in only one of those countries—where you live.

Why not start there?

What a great way to find value in so much conversation—by reading only the local tweets of the people around you.

That's what Nearby Tweets is about—making it easier than ever to connect with local people and businesses around you. See Twitter in a new way with local tweets.
