I am sure there are people in the city I live in who are tweeting right now, but there’s not many easy ways to discover them. Do you know who is near you and is on Twitter? Do you know how to find them?

Nearby Tweets helps you find people in your local area who are on Twitter. I’m not sure how they determine your location, but I have a feeling it’s done via your IP address, and the information your ISP reports. My location was reported as Seattle, which is right. Kat’s was reported as Indianapolis – a city she lives 40 miles from. So it’s not perfect, but it is dang close!

If you aren’t happy with the location that Nearby Tweets gives you, you can change your preferences to search by a different location or keyword. Even if the site correctly reports your location, why not change things up and look at your hometown? Find people you went to high school or college with on Twitter and reconnect!

You may just be surprised at who you will find on Twitter from your neighborhood or hometown. More and more people are starting to join Twitter every day. Make sure you can find them all!
