According to a breaking-news Mashable article, Twitter will launch location-based trending topics. All I can say is, about time! This new feature will allow you to set your specific location, so that you can see what’s trending around you. It looks as though it will be limited to a few counties and cities, specifically 15 U.S. cities and Atlanta is one them. I think this is a really cool feature and a good move for Twitter. It will be interesting for users to see what’s trending in their home city and it will be beneficial for local businesses/brands to see what’s going on around them.
Twitter will be rolling this feature out to 1% of Twitter users today. Unfortunately, I’m not in the lucky 1%, but Mashable was able to get some screenshots of the new feature. Check them out below.
