Local Marketing: Who Nearby Is Talking About You?

When you begin to tune into social and dig for those key conversations and influencers to share your content with, it might be important to sift down to a particular geographical area.  If you have a Real Estate business in one city, you want to look at all of the relevant tweets in your area, not the entire world.

Thankfully, Twitter does have a location feature that allows you to tag your location in your tweets, but it is missing one major component: a directory of locals. Enter twellowhood, a spin-off of the “Twitter yellow pages”, twellow.com.

For local businesses, being able to isolate physical regions twittering more efficient and make your every tweet more powerful.
