Twitter Rolls Out Local Trends Feature

Twitter began a rollout of a new Local Trends feature last week, and now the company reports Local Trends is live to all.

Once you set your location, Local Trends allows you to see what conversational trends are popular nearby. The cities list is still limited for now, but the selection area indicates Twitter is “working on it” to expand the number of supported localities.

Changing your location immediately updates the list of trending topics in the right-hand sidebar of your Twitter.com home display. The below screenshot shows Local Trends in action in the Los Angeles area.



We recently looked at exactly why Twitter wants to know where you are, and the full rollout of Local Trends is the next step in that location-based adventure. Have you enabled the new feature yet? Were you surprised by any Twitter trends happening in your local area?
