Who is Tweeting in Your City?

Yes, I’m on Twitter. I’ve been there for a few years now, and have a bajillion or so followers. I think I’ve now tweeted out around 10,000 different things. Not too shabby, eh? I’m assuming you’re on Twitter, since it seems most everyone is. But do you know who else in your city or area is also running around on Twitter? Do you know how to find them and see what they’re talking about?
If you answered no, then you need to check out Geo Chirp. GeoChirp helps you search for people Twittering for specific things in a specific area. Let’s say you want to find people in your location who are tweeting about the iPhone. Select the area in your map on Geo Chirp, and set the radius to 1-50 miles. Enter keyword iPhone and boom! You have a list of all of the people in your area who are talking about the iPhone on Twitter. This definitely makes GeoChirp the most powerful tool to connect with people of similar interests in a particular geography.
You don’t only have to search your own area, of course. What if you were attending a conference in Texas in the near future, but you live in Oregon? You might want to use Geo Chirp to find out what people in the conference area are talking about, and who the movers and shakers are in that location. Did I forget to mention that Geo Chirp gives you a list of the most popular Twitter users in any given area?
If you want to find out who is tweeting in your area, and what they’re talking about, Geo Chirp makes it exceedingly easy and fast. There honestly is no simpler way to accomplish these tasks. Everyone uses Twitter for different reasons, and there’s no one right way. Try using Geo Chirp to help you find out what’s happening in your area.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for the review of our Twitter Mashup – GeoChirp.com. I also wanted to share that the following features of GeoChirp help increase its utility:
a. Tweet Translation Tool – you can translate tweets to any language you like. Eg. if you only know English and are GeoChirping on Moscow. The language translation tool will allow you to translate specific tweets which are in Russian to any language which you understand.
b. RSS for Search – if you wish to be informed anytime a particular keyword is used in Tweets in any location, you can use this very well. Instead of coming back and checking again and again, if you subscribe to a search, you will be informed automatically whenever there is a match.
c. Universal Search – allows you to query the entire Twitosphere, instead of just the 1 to 50 miles radius.
d. URL Shortner – Once you login you can use the URL shortner whenever you want to mention a URL in your tweets.
Hope you enjoy using GeoChirp!
Thanks!
Pancham
